A Multi-angle Study On The Format "非X 不Y"

There are a number of characteristicl language formats in Chinese,for example:"非X不Y","非X才Y"and so on. In everyday life,these language formats are used frequently, When in the expression of certain tone particularly. Their usage is very flexible,which reflects internal complexity of these language formats.This paper takes the format"非X不Y"as the object of study,because this format includes a great deal of grammatical information,and there are many difficulties unsolved,in addition,the study on the format"非X不Y"still not deep enough.At first, we conbine the diachronic level with the synchronic plane analyse on the language format,and the study on the format is classified into historical evolution and development in modern Chinese. The paper bases on the grammatical theory of "three planes" , using the united principle of quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis, description and explanation to reseach"非X不Y".In the performance of the form,there are obvious differences,in according with diachronic plane and the synchronic plane.First,the restrictions on"X","Y". In ancient Chinese language,"X"incline to composition of substantive ; in modern Chinese,"X"incline to composition of predicate. Moreover, Full-Verb serve as"Y"in ancient Chinese language,however, Mood Particles always serve as"Y"in modern Chinese, For semantics analysis, the format"非X不Y"has different semantics also. The semantic feature is single in ancient Chinese language,"X"is a sufficient conditions for"Y". In comparison,the semantics in modern Chinese has multiple kinds.The format"非X不Y"in Contrast with similar or related format.In this chapter,we compare and contrast the"非X不Y"with"非X才Y".In the end,we discover,they have share in common on semantics.
