A Study Of Fake Disjunctive Sentence "X,Bu Ran De Hua,Y"in Modern Chinese

The study of compound sentence and associated words is an essential part of the study of grammar in modern Chinese. Although numerous research results concerned with this field have already been found nowadays, most of them focus on associated words. And they are based on the connection of correlative conjunction with compound sentence. However, the super key word which can also function as associated words earns little attention. The study of the super key word's application in compound sentence and sentence group still needs to be improved. Based on the fact that associated words are composed of correlative conjunction, correlative adverb and correlative phrase, the thesis studies on the third type of associated words and makes the super key words "burandehua" which is a marker of fake disjunctive in modern Chinese as the research emphasis, in order to make a research on the features of the grammatical distribution, semantic categorization, and pragmatic function of the fake disjunctive sentence "X, bu ran de hua(不然的话),Y" in modern Chinese. The thesis involves the application of compound sentence and sentence group in semantics. It also refers to the comparative study of other similar forms.The thesis constitutes of five chapters.Chapter One introduces the research subject, research status and research methods of the thesis.Chapter Two focuses on the language expression features of the fake disjunctive sentence "X, bu ran de hua(不然的话),Y",mainly revealing its features in form. This chapter studies the basic format and extended format of "X, bu ran de hua(不然的话),Y" and reveals the main structural relation inside the format,and its variations in semantic application. This chapter also explores selection preference of the previous and latter entries to the combination of sentence groups and the coexistence of other associated words and auxiliary words.Chapter Three concentrates on the bases and type features of semantic constitution in the fake disjunctive sentence "'X, bu ran de hua(不然的话)Y". According to the analysis of the implied fake disjunctive relation in fake disjunctive sentence "X, bu ran de hua(不然的话),Y", this chapter explores the deep inferior semantic types of the format which are mainly counter cause-and-effect type, logic-choice type and logic-deduction type, and analyzes each type specifically. This chapter also analyzes the selection preference of the previous and later items of the format to sentence category and the coexistence of the format and other associated words and modal participles.Chapter Four presents the pragmatic features of the fake disjunctive sentence"X, bu ran de hua(不然的话), Y". On the one hand, this chapter analyzes from the pragmatic function of its expression in semantic application, which is shown through cohesive function, semantic ellipsis, and mood expression. On the other hand, this chapter compares the format "bu ran de hua(不然的话)" with other forms which share the same semantic meanings, unveiling the subtle differences between them.Chapter Five is the conclusion which indicates the shortcomings and deficiencies of the thesis.
