The Study On Evidence Preposition Of Modern Chinese

Evidence preposition of Modern Chinese shows righteousness to be quite rich, The predecessor has done certain research. This thesis will base on senior , from the relationship between semantic characteristics and grammatical forms, portray characteristics of evidence preposition'categories and sub-categories.Through the substitution, according to the semantic categories, voice,pragmatic conditions about relevant components,thesis reveal the individual features of evidence prepositions.The thesis include six parts:In the part one,we make a review of the past evidence preposition research achievements since MaShi Wentong came into being, specially 1980's.In the sametime,the disadvantage of existing research is pointed out. Connotation and denotation of the evidence preposition has not been clear yet. Semantic characteristics seldom has been revealed. Individual description has not been in a deep degree.And then,the thesis set three tasks.The first one is inspecting categories'characteristics of evidence preposition.The second one is inspecting sub-categories'characteristics of evidence preposition.The third one is inspecting individual characteristics between each other. Finally we carried on a explanation on method and language materials in the thesis.In the part two, we make a definetion of the evidence preposition.Basing on existing researches,thesis make a new definetion of the evidence preposition'connotation and denotation. According to the semantic both evidence preposition and following components introduced,thirty-five evidence prepositions are divided into four categories.The first one is the standard evidence preposition.Common semantic characteristic is [+evidence][+standard],including"an,anzhe,anzhao,zhao,zhaozhe,yi,yizhe,yizhao,zunzhao,sui,suizhe,shunzhe,ru,lun".The second one is basic-point evidence preposition. Common semantic characteristic is [+evidence][+basic-piont],including"ju,genju,yiju,ben,benzhe,jiyu,jianyu,cong,da,you".The third one is reliance evidence preposition.Common semantic characteristic is [+evidence][+reliance],including"ping,pingzhe,kao,kaozhe,chong,chongzhe,zhangzhe,yizhang,yizhangzhe".Thesis also inlustrate other semantic characteristics , and compare with semantic characteristic similarities and differences between each others. There is a equivocal category with three semantic characteristics which is listed above.In the part three, we make studies on standard category by dividing them into four groups.Sub-groups is set up in group with many members ever. This category is divided into four groups,group"an", group"zhao",group"suishun",group"lun"。Group"an"has the semantic characteristic[+cognition][+measurement].Group"zhao"has the semantic characteristic[+imitation].Grpup"zhao"is divided into three sub-groups."zhao,zhaozhe"and"ru"become a group."yi","yizhe"and"yizhao" become a group,"zunzhao"become a group alone.Because sub-group"zhao"is effected by"zhao",it has semantic characteristic[+imitation][+copy]. The emphasis lies in acting accordingly. Because sub-group"yi"is effected by"yi",it has semantic characteristic[+imitation][±copy].It imply that somebody act accordingly and changely."Yi"has semantic characteristic [+compliance], semantic characteristic has been strengthened followed by"zhao". The emphasis lies in completely complying and compulsory.So sub-group"yi"is frequently used to legal provision."zunzhao"is combinated by"zun"and"zhao",with semantic characteristic of [+complete imitation]. Sub-group"suishun"has semantic characteristic[+obedience].Actor acts suitablely or comply with evidence."lun"has semantic characteristics [+appraisal]and[+measurement].Different individuals has different semantic characteristics.In the part four, we make studies on basic-point category by dividing them into three groups. Group"ju"relating with the roots of the plants includes"ju,genju,yiju,jiyu,ben,benzhe".Its semantic characteristic is [+basic-point][+ source]. Group"jian"relating with the mirror has only one"jianyu".Its semantic characteristic is [+basic-point][+ reflection]."Cong,da,you"represent a aspect. Its semantic characteristic is [+basic-point][+ aspect]. And different individuals has different semantic characteristics.In the part five, we make studies on reliance category by dividing them into two groups. Group"ping"and group"chong". Group"ping"includes"ping,pingzhe,kao,kaozhe,zhangzhe,yizhang,yizhangzhe".Its semantic characteristic is [+reliance][+dependence]. Group"chong"includes"chong,chongzhe".Its semantic characteristic is [+reliance][+causes and effects]. And different individuals has different semantic characteristics.In the part six, conclusion is made. We carry on the summary to the whole text. A table show the four categories'characteristics of evidence preposition and individual characteristics. Finally thesis proposed the pending proplems which need continuing to study.In this thesis, the innovation displays in three aspects.(1) re-definition of evidence prepositions is made. Synthesizing predecessor's viewpoint,we re-define evidence prepositions; On the basis of the Doctor Changlai Chen, denotation of the evidence preposition is clearly defined.(2) Based on semantic characteristics of evidence preposition and following component which is introduced, the new classification is made.And there are four categories.That are standard,basic-piont, reliance and equivocal evidence preposition. Embarked from the semantic characteristics, semantic and syntax differences between groups and individuals are investigated.By substitution analysis, individual characteristics are inspected.
