This thesis mainly discusses 4 groups of monosyllable adverbs of mood that commonly used in modern Chinese. They are"you"and"ye","cai"and"jiu","pian"and"ying","jue1"and"jue2"1, which can express different mood meanings when they are used in front of"bu + VP". At this time, they can strengthen the negative mood.The foreword makes clear of these questions:"why we choose this topic","research object","research target","research method and theoretical basis","research production of the former"and"the source of language materials".Besides foreword and summary, this thesis includes five parts. We discuss 4 groups of monosyllable adverbs of mood + bu + VP from Chapter 1 to Chapter 4. Then in the summary, we get concludes of questions about series of adverbs of mood used in front of"bu + VP", such as the function of mood, and using conditions.In Chapter 1, we compare"you + bu + VP"with"ye + bu + VP". The basic grammatical meaning of the adverb"you"is addition, while"ye"is alikeness. When they are used in front of"bu + VP","you + bu + VP"emphasizes negative mood, while"ye + bu + VP"emphasizes mild mood. They are associated with their presuppositional meanings and subjectivity. The presupposition of"you + bu + VP"is"Only P, Q". We can negate"Q"through negate"P". The presupposition of"ye + bu + VP"is"there is a contradiction","ye"can relax the contradiction. Because of the function of protruding facts,"you"and"ye"have higher grammatification and increased subjectivity when they are used before"bu + VP".In Chapter 2, the objects are"cai + bu + VP"and"jiu + bu + VP". At first, we compare the subjective functions of"cai"and"jiu", both have three kinds of them. Then we get the subjective functions of"cai"and"jiu"used in front of"bu + VP", the former can affirm the speaker's presupposition by emphasizing negation, and express his proud will; the latter also emphasize negation, but express the determined will.In Chapter 3, we analyze"pian + bu + VP"and"ying + bu + VP". The mood meanings and semantic characteristics of"pian"and"ying"are different. Although both of them can emphasize the speaker's negation of"what the event subject have done", but"pian"hints that the event subject did something in spite of objective condition, while"ying"hints he did it firmly and stubbornly. In our opinion, the subjectivity of"pian"used before"bu + VP"is"emphasizing deviation"or"violating willfully", while"ying"is"emphasizing firming"or"persisting incorrigibly".In Chapter 4, we discuss"jue1 + bu + VP"and"jue2 + bu + VP". The diachronic evolution of"jue1"and"jue2"are different, so do the semantic characteristics on synchronic plane. The semantic characteristic of"jue2"is more complex than"jue1", that means it is more"absolutely"."jue1"used before"bu + VP emphasizes firm mood and expresses the speaker's firmly negative manner, while"jue2"emphasizes absolute modality and expresses the speaker's firmly and absolutely negative manner.In the summary, we summarize the mood meanings of the monosyllable adverbs of mood used before"bu + VP". Besides the 4 groups we discuss in other chapters, we also discuss"bing, ke, jing, hao". They all strengthen negative mood expect"ye". These monosyllable adverbs of mood can use before"bu + VP"because of negative focus and subjectivity.
