Modern Chinese Willingness Auxiliary Study

This paper,divided into four chapters excluding the preface and conclusion,mainly discusses the naming,determination standard and modal meanings about the volition auxiliary verbs,and we will have a contrastive research about the syntactic construction,semantics and pragmatical feature of the typical members.Chapter 1:According to the prototype-based theory and other related theories of the cognition linguistics,we comfire the determination standard of the volition auxiliary verbs of modern chineses and include its members as followings: xiang,yao1,ken,yuan,yuanyi,gan,ganyu,leyu,leyi,lede,yongyu,qingyuan,kuyu,lande,yubei1,gaoxing,huanxi,zhunbei1 and xiangyao1,among which xiangyao1,ken,yuanyi,yuan,gan,ganyu,qingyuan and leyi are the typical members.Chapter 2:At present, there are different opinions about the dynamic modality among the people,after the detailed synshronic analysis and the diachronic provement,we think the dynamic modality as one part of the modal category and an atypical modality which including [ability],[courage]and[volition],in which the volition auxiliary verbs have the modality of"volition"."yao"is a polysemous modal auxiliary verbs and express three kind of modality:deontic,epistemic and dynamic,the others members such as ken,yuanyi,yuan,gan,ganyu,qingyuan,leyi and xiang are monosemantic modal auxiliary verbs, which just express dynamic modality[volition].Chapter 3 and chapter 4:In these two parts ,we will have a detailed contrastive research about some typical members of the volition auxiliary verbs such as"xiang","yao1","xiangyao1","ken","gan","ganyu","yuanyi","qingyuan","leyi" and so on.Firstly,in the syntactic construction,these words have different features about modifier,time feature,negation form and degree of freedom,through which we can trace their semantic difference.In the field of the semantic,all of these words can express one's wish and will,and they are divided into two parts according to"spontaneous"and"responsive":one is the spontaneous,initiative and active volition including"yao1","xiang"and"xiangyao1",the other is the responsive , optional and passive volition including"yuanyi","qingyuan","leyi"and"ken",between these two types,there are some overlapped and identical parts and their respective internal members also have the slight difference.The replaced use of these words is decided by the general semantic characteristic,and the different semantic characteristic bring them different use effects.
