In everyday conversation, people often use "shenme X bu X (de)" to express feelings of dissatisfied or resentful, like "shenme money bu money de". According to the standards of judging the Construction——a coalition of form and meaning, established by usage, a holistic theory of the Construction which is depending from the internal structures——"shenme X bu X (de)" should be seen as a construction, a high-yield marked Construction. From now on, the study of this construction is sparked in several papers.Firstly, give a condition of identification of "shenme X bu X (de)". Using Conceptual Blending Theory to conclude this construction, defind it a construction of the truncatedly combining mode. In addition, analysising the semantic feature of "shenme" and "X bu X", and summarizing the derivation meaning and the implicit meaning.Secondly, analyzing the semantic features:"shenme"、"X"and modal particle "de". In the last analyzing of non-interrogative usage of "shenme", finding that the rudiment of "shenme X bu X (de)"construction is "shenme XY", and this first form is appearing as the object of a verb in the conversations, as the "V"+"shenme X bu X (de)" appearing in the conversations. Slowly, the construction breaked away from verbs becomes a sub-clause or other syntactic constituent. Then, using prototype theory of the Cognitive linguistics concludes the typical member of this construction. The typical member is the sub-clause and X is noun、verb and adjective. In the study of "X", the chosing requirement of "X" has been analyzed and concluded. In the study of modal particle "de", the function of "de" in the whole construction has been concluded. Moreover, compare the "shenme X bu X (de)"construction with the "shenme X"construction and the "X shenme X"construction, trying to tell the difference in these three constructions.In the end, a theoretical explanation has been given in sentence construction and pragmatics from specific language application of the "shenme X bu X (de)"construction. In the part of sentence construction, because of the stability of the "shenme X bu X (de)"construction, no ingredient can be inserted in which makes it can be independent clause, sub-clause, and the object、ttribute、subject and predicate in the clause. The main syntactic constituent of this construction is to be the sub-clause and the object of a clause. This is decided by the development situation of the "shenme X bu X (de)"construction. Furthermore, the "shenme X bu X (de)"construction has been analyzed from the economy principle and the polite principle of conversation. The "shenme X bu X (de)"construction violates the two principles delibertaly to meet the requirement of speaker’s communicate views.
