With the rise of functional linguistics,scholars have broken the limits of formal linguistics' emphasis on form and syntactic research,and turned their attention to the research on the discourse and discourse structure of supersentences.The research in this article is launched in this context.The reformation phenomenon is a common phenomenon in language,and the connected components that mark this phenomenon are called "reformed connection components" or "reformation markers".Regarding the reformation markers,from the current research,In terms of linguistic form,most of the existing researches,both at home and abroad,focus on lexical items,which are served by a fixed word,but not enough attention is paid to the linguistic markers served by schemata.From the perspective of the semantic relationship between discourses before and after reformation,foreign countries mainly use relevance theory to explore the causal reasoning relationship between discourses before and after reformation.Domestic scholars mainly pay attention to the differences in the semantic complexity of discourse before and after reformation,the study focuses on the description of objective semantics between discourse before and after it.From the perspective of the origin of the reformation marker,no one has yet discussed how the reformulation marker of the schema construction form in modern Chinese is produced.Therefore,on the basis of relevant research results at home and abroad,this paper uses the theory and methods of construction grammar,discourse grammar,and discourse analysis from the standpoint of functional linguistics.On the basis of clarifying the core concepts of reformation relations and reformation markers,the semantics and functions of the typical reformation marker "in other words" in Chinese are described.Three types of reformation markers are selected,which are:reformation markers of the "quotation" type of schema construction "yong X de hua shuo" "an X de shuo fa",reformation markers of the "perspective" type of schema construction "cong X de jiao du shuo " "cong X de fang mian shuo",reformation markers of the "evaluation" type of schema construction "wang X li shuo" "shuo de X yi dian".From the aspects of form,function,and source,a comprehensive description of the reformulation markers of the six types of schema constructions in these three categories is given and a new understanding of the reformation marker system of Chinese is sought.The structure of this paper is as follows:First is the introduction.This part explains the research object of this article,expounds the significance of the topic and the possible innovations of the topic,and explains the theory,method and corpus used to solve the problem.The first chapter is a review of related issues.This chapter sorts out the current research status of discourse markers at home and abroad,introduces the related structural studies and discourse and discourse studies.It focuses on the analysis of related reformation issues at home and abroad,including the definition,classification,scope,function,etc.The second chapter discusses issues related to reformation relations and reformation markers.This chapter is mainly based on related research at home and abroad,and combines the facts of the Chinese language to clarify the basic concepts of reformation relations and reformation markers.It involves the definition of reformation relations,the semantic relations between discourses before and after reformation relations,and their semantic attributes and other issues are discussed,including the scope,form,and function of reformation markers,and our views on the reformation relationship and reformation mark system of Chinese are put forward.The content of this chapter is mainly to provide theoretical and conceptual support for case studies in subsequent chapters.The third chapter discusses the most typical reformation marker in Chinese "in other words".Based on the existing research,the semantic relationship between preand post-discourses related to "in other words" is first combed,and then the related pragmatic issues of "in other words" and the reformation structures marked by them.Finally,the source and evolution of "in other words" are examined.The content of this chapter is mainly to provide an example for the description of the reformulation markers whose forms are schema construction.The fourth chapter discusses the reformation markers of the "quotation" type of schema construction "yong X de hua shuo " "an X de shuo fa",First introduce the concept of the quote and related research,and then from the different functions,related variants,component analysis,semantic relations between discourses before and after reformation,and the pragmatic function of reformulation marker itself and the pragmatic analysis of reformulation mark structure,the two cases are described comprehensively.The fifth chapter discusses the reformation markers of the "perspective" type of schema construction "cong X de jiao du shuo " "cong X de fang mian shuo",Firstintroduce the concept of the perspective and related research,and then from the different functions,related variants,component analysis,semantic relations between discourses before and after reformation,and the pragmatic function of reformulation marker itself and the pragmatic analysis of reformulation marker structure,the two cases are described comprehensively.The sixth chapter discusses the reformation markers of the "evaluation" type of schema construction "wang X li shuo" "shuo de X yi dian",First introduce the concept of the evaluation and related research,and then from the different functions,related variants,component analysis,semantic relations between discourses before and after reformation,and the pragmatic function of reformulation marker itself and the pragmatic analysis of reformulation marker structure,the two cases are described comprehensively.The seventh chapter is a diachronic investigation of the reformulation markers whose forms are schema construction.Firstly,the expressions related to a certain reformulation markers whose forms are schema construction in ancient or modern Chinese are investigated,and the relationship between these expressions and reformation markers are discussed.Secondly,the specific origin and evolution process of six reformulation markers whose forms are schema construction in three categories are discussed.Finally,the cause and mechanism of the evolution of the reformulation markers whose forms are schema construction are analyzed.Chapter eighth summarizes the characteristics related to the phenomenon of Chinese reformation.First,according to the number of reformed structural components,it is divided into simple reformed structures and complex reformed structures.Secondly,it analyzes the semantic level of the reformation relationship.Thirdly,the classification problems of reformulation markers are analyzed.Finally,the similarities between the reformation markers of the term form and the schema construction form are analyzed,and the characteristics of the reformulation markers whose forms are schema construction are analyzed.Finally for the conclusion.First,the basic framework of the article is explained.Secondly,the existing deficiencies and future research directions are explained.
