Study On The Modern Chinese Phrase Of "有A无B"

Four-character structure is an extremly important kind of words unit in the ancient and modern Chinese which is used a lot in real life. However,the studies on it are rather insufficient,in particular the studies on the Four-character structure"有A无B".My research aims at studying the Four-character structure"有A无B". It is formed of two verb-object structures"有A","无B"and to be the"2+2"non-reduplicated word of four-character structure,such as"有勇无谋,有意无意,有教无类,有增无减,有惊无险,有心无力"and so on. Firstly,we investigate the design features and the syntactic function of the structure by analyzing the form,grammar nature and the place precedence of"A,B". By reviewing related researches,we consider the"有A无B"structure is a predicate structure which has the strong nounal deixis characteristics.The semantic relations and the pragmatic values of the structure are also the major focus in this paper. The"有A无B"structure is divided into coordinate and non-coordinate relations structure by classifying the semantic relations of"A,B". The semantic feature of coordinate structure is most describle some static situation or activities. From logical inference, non-coordinate structure is express some dynamic conditions produce some results. From cognitive pattern,the structure approximately have four patterns: single kernel coagulate aggregation,double kernel linear dispersed aggregation,single kernel liner aggregation,double kernel aggregation. The structure basic function is statement and depiction in the exterior sentences.Its special gramatical values impel the structure abound and broadly apply.In the third chapter we try to use some related cognitive theories such as the metaphor theory,the conceptual blending theory and the relevancy theory to analyse the structure and consider it forms the phrases and the phrases evolve a developmental continuum: temporary phrase,quasi-fixed phrase,fixed phrase(mainly idiom). We combine the static and dynamic cognitive course with the concrete examples to parse the cognitive course of the structure and discover it essentially reflect the mentality token of people's cognitive course,also sufficiently prove our antiquity Chinese which has the 5,000 years history has the cognitive connotation and the enchantment.At last,this paper studies the formation time of this structure and the internal and external causes of its formation from the synchronic and diachronic angles.
