Analysis Of Conjunction Condition Of Minor Sentences Of "Conglai" And "Zongshi"

This thesis studies the usage of the conjunction of the time adverb "conglai" and frequency adverb "zongshi", trying to describe the panorama of the conjunction, making a comparative analysis of two syntactical structures with different orders and studying the formation conditions, the reason of the difference and the tendentiousness of the usage and so on. Based on this, this thesis sums up the limitation of the conjunction and finds the rule. The full thesis is divided into six chapters as follows:The first chapter is introduction, which illustrates the relevant research of "conglai" and "zongshi". And in this thesis, the goal, significance, theories, methods and corpus of this research are introduced, based on which, the author puts forward to find problems and gives the basic theory of this study.The second chapter analyzes the condition of the conjunction from the aspect of syntax. This chapter studies the choice of syntactical structure I "conglai A, zongshi B" and the syntactical structure Ⅱ "conglai A, zongshi B" in the negative adverb, VP, subject, dynamic auxiliary, time words and syntactic position. Comparing similarities and differences, the author gets two orders of the classic syntactical structure:syntactical structure I-time word+S+conglai+negative adverb+VP, zongshi+VP; syntactical structure II-time word+S+zongshi+VP, conglai+VP.The third chapter makes a comparative analysis from the semantic relationships of the conjunction. The author finds there are parallel, turning and causal relationships between the front minor sentence and the following one in two syntactical structures. The difference is:in syntactical structure I, the front minor sentence and the following one are based on the relationship of solution and parallel; in syntactical structure Ⅱ, they are mainly based on the relationship of parallel, but twist relationship is more outstanding.The fourth chapter makes a comparison on the conjunction from the angle of pragmatics. This chapter makes statistics of the style of sentence distribution, finding that syntactical structure I is suitable to the style of partial objectivity, syntactical structure Ⅱ is frequently used in the style of partial subjectivity. What’s more, the quantity of these two syntactical structures in the writing style is the most. Then, this chapter makes an analysis on the focus components of these two syntactical structures, believing that the focus of the syntactical structure I is the minor sentence of "zongshi", while the focus of the syntactical structure 、I is the minor sentence of "conglai". In the end, using the theory of focus, this chapter answers the questions about the tendentiousness of choice of the time word in a syntactical structure, the tendentiousness of subjectivity and objectivity.In the fifth chapter, according to the features of the conjunction of "biao-li-zhi", the author gives a restrictive condition of the conjunction. The author also makes an orientation of the functions of the theme, time word, VP and relationship of syntactical structures in the conjunction.The sixth chapter is conclusion, which summarizes the content of the above parts and put forward the shortcomings of this thesis.
