Applying the Theory of Clausal Pivot,Cognitive Linguistics and Linguistic Typology Theory,etc,and based on synchronic and diachronic corpus data,this paper combine the approach of traditional study with advanced computer query,and combine traditional contemporary analysis of the distribution with Cognitive Founctional Linguistics and Linguistic Typology Theory,statistic the distribution and frequency of use about all kinds of Marked Concessive Compound clauses,and then conduct a comprehensive analysis and come to the conclusion,and conduct relevance explanations.The main contents include the following:Chapter 1.Briefly introduces the background of the theory and research methods,and with a brief description on the topic of this paper, and introduces the main contents as well as the structure of the paper,at last described choice of corpus and style categories in this paper.Chapter 2.Define the scope of the study on Marked Concessive Compound clause in Modern Chinese.We use XING Fu-yi's Abnormal Points to define Concessive Compound clause,and define the scope and quantity of the Marked Concessive Compound clause and the concessive relationship markedness.Chapter 3.We talk about the use and markedness pattern of the Marked Concessive Compound clause in Chinese.Through statistic more than 400 million words in a row the real text ocorpus,found the main form of the the Marked Concessive Compound clause in Chinese is the Single-marked Concessive Compound clause,and they usuraly used for Colloquialism and Literary Style;on the contrary the Multi-marked Concessive Compound clause usurally used for Science and Technology Style.We found the markedness patterns of Concessive Compound clause in Chinese have three forms,they are the Middle-bonding, Supporting-around and the Periphery-dependence,and the Middle-bonding is the main body;the Periphery-dependence mainly depend on the adverb and the tone.Chapter 4.We talk about the factors that affecting frequency of Concessive Compound clause in Chinese.First,the influence of the relational markedness.There are changes in the reverse direction between quantity of relational markedness with the frequency of use of the Concessive Compound clause in Chinese,and this manifested the economical principle;The frequency of Concessive Compound clause of the relational markedness resides in the conventional position is higher than the non-conventional position,and this manifested the influence of the cognition gestalt psycholog;and we found the frequency of Multi-markedness dispersion-like Concessive Compound clause is higher than Multi-markedness connected -like".Second,the influence of sentence type constitution.We found if the first clause is the subjects and predicates complete clause the relational markedness may multi-point distribute,thus the frequency of the Compound clause is higher than the non-complete subjects and predicates clause far;The order of subject of clause and the connection markedness influence the frequency,and it performance to the subject- precedes is higher than the markedness-precede,and this is manifested the characteristic of topic priority express in Chinese.Third,the influence of pragmatic.Include the impacts of differences of style,relation markedness dualization-syllable, relation markedness colloquialization,and cognitive and psychological.Chapter 5.Make diachronic analysis on the Concessive Compound clause in Chinese.The results showed the characteristics:more and more constructions emerge,more and more complex system is formed,more and more diversification used to express:the main body of high-frequency constructions is the Single-marked compound clause,and they has the relationship for replacement:the frequency of Single-marked and Multi-marked compound clause have a converse tendency each other;colloquialization markedness increased since ancient This changes shows the language system get a game equilibrium between the Principle of Maximized Economy and Principle of Maximized Express Power,and shows the strong constraints of Dik's order principle for relators;and we found there is Family Resemblance link in the Concessive Compound clause in Chinese.Chapter 6.Through comparative analysis the Marked Concessive Compound clause in English,Japanese confirm the concessive relators have a typology universal that trend to the position between clauses,and the main body of relators is pre-posed anaphoric conjunctions and at the same time they show particular characteristic.Chapter 7.Summarized the main conclusion of the paper.Include the main contents and the important meaning,as well as made a brief analysis for the problems and put forward future research ideas.
