A Comparative Study Of "Adverb" And "On" In Modal Adverbs

In modern Chinese,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) are the two high frequency of use, use complicated words, as the mood adverb, the two have many similarities. In this paper, by way of diachronic and synchronic with modal adverbs "pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) were investigated, in diachronic level, the main use of grammar theory study of both grammar course, and mechanism analysis and comparison; in synchronic the level in the framework of the theory of the three planes from the syntax, semantics and pragmatics to analyze both. Besides the introduction, is divided into four parts:Grammatical aspects, mainly from the initial, development and the formation of three stages to investigate "pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) in the process of Grammaticalization."Pian"(偏) blur the source is an adjective, the original meaning of that "first partial" in the gradual blurring of the process, from the evolution of the adjective adverb finally empty into modal adverbs. And "jiu"(就) blur comes from the verb, the original meaning of that "close to or reach somewhere" in the blur of the process, the verb function gradually weakened, and finally into the virtual modal adverbs. On the formation mechanism, mainly from the syntax, generalization, metaphors and subjective analyzes four aspects "pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就)grammar of motives.Syntactic functions,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) can be located in a sentence or sentence, the sentence adverbial, and modal verbs can, when they said "adamant" or stressed mood, sometimes used interchangeably. In combination with other adverbs with the sentence,"pian"(偏)more to do with that transition adverb combination, and "jiu"(就) can not turn adverb combination, can also affirmed tone and adverbs. By comparison,"jiu"(就) syntactic position more flexible and less constrained conditions, whether in spoken or written language, a wider range of use are some of the applicable sentence is also some more.Semantic functions,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) there are many similarities in the semantic interpretation of them can mean adamant to express emphasis on mood; the modality to convey,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) can be said to emphasize modality and reversed modality, semantic domain jurisdiction,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) can be located behind the first sentence under the jurisdiction of the whole sentence, the sentence can also be located adjacent to the jurisdiction of the predicate ingredients. But "jiu"(就) in terms of semantics and modality to convey, than "pian"(偏) content and functionality to be rich, not only can the tone for emphasis will also be represented tone, in the jurisdiction of a wider range of sentence.Pragmatic functions,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) as a modal adverb, can be said to emphasize mood, tone and rebuttal surprised tone; distribution of sentence category,"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) can be distributed in declarative and interrogative;"pian"(偏) and "jiu"(就) as a focus sensitive operator midnight, should reread the speech, highlighting the role played semantics. But "jiu"(就) can also be located and exclamatory rhetorical question, as the focus of its syntax sensitive position neutrons counted more flexible, can be located at the end of the sentence, the tone is more blur.
