Multi-angle Study On The Potential Verb-Complement Construction "V De\bu Qi (得\不起)"

In modern Chinese, the potential Verb-Complement construction is one of theresearch focuses of the field of linguistics, although the potential Verb-Complementconstruction”V de\bu qi” is known for its wide usage, flexible meaning andcomplicated and unique structure, the structure study is few and the highestachievement of the research is diachronic study． Therefore, on the basis of previousstudies, with three aspects from syntax, semantics, pragmatics, this paper appliessome basic concepts and theories of structural grammar, cognitive grammar andfunctional grammar to conduct a synchronic study．The frist chapter is introduction． This chapter summarizes the achievements ofthe previous researches on the topic． In addition, it also relates to the researchobjective and significance, problems existing in the current research of the project,problems of this paper studies, methods and corpus sources used in this article．The second chapter is the syntactic analysis of the potential Verb-Complementconstruction”V de\bu qi”． This chapter investigates the syntactic distribution andcorresponding simultaneous component of the potential Verb-Complementconstruction”V de\bu qi”． Then we find the potential Verb-Complementconstruction”V de\bu qi” in the sentence can be used as a predicate (with a adverbialmodifier), attributive (constituting the subject-predicate structure, verb-objectstructure and the structure of adverbial modifier of attributive structure with otherwords), complement and subject． In addition, we also study “V”,“de\bu” and “qi”of the potential Verb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi”, including the "V"grammar classification, characteristics of the voice of “V”, the “qi” semanticclassification and the parts．of speech and semantic of “de\bu”． Finally, we studythe collocation mechanism between “V” and “qi” of the potential Verb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi”, then we sum up the “V” and “qi” collocation． There arethree grammatical meanings about “qi”, directional meaning, result meaning, statemeaning． Directional meaning of “qi” collocates with controllable verb indicatingbody action． Result meaning of “qi” collocates with controllable verb, causativeverb, judgment verb and directional verb． State meaning of “qi” collocates withnoncontrollable verb and psychological verb．The third chapter is the semantic and classification of the potentialVerb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi”． This chapter begins with a summaryof the overall format significance of the potential Verb-Complement construction”Vde\bu qi”, as well as an analysis about the semantic orientation of “qi”． Then wefind that the sentence meaning of the potential Verb-Complement construction“Vde\bu qi” is a judgment of the speaker for the thing if a body of making movementhas an objective ability, an objective condition and a subjective attitude． And “qi”semantic point to “V”, this is special． Secondly, we summarizes its generic sense,and classifies it as the standard． there are three major generic meaning, V de\bu qi1,V de\bu qi2, V de\bu qi3． In addition, we analyzes some “qi”s of the potentialVerb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” replace “qi lai”s． This issue is aboutthe match between “qi” and “V”, here is the application of collocation mechanism of“qi” and “V”．The forth chapter is the pragmatic analysis of the potential Verb-Complementconstruction”V de\bu qi”． We analyze the construction from the theme-statement,expression of the center of gravity and focus, the selection of sentence pattern,sentence category and style． We find that the subject of the potentialVerb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” is theme, and the potentialVerb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” is statement．“V” of the potentialVerb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” is to describe the subject and “de\bu qi”of the potential Verb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” is to judge thesubject． The expression of the center of gravity and focus is “V”． The potentialVerb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” chooses declarative sentence, question(mainly including rhetorical question), exclamatory sentence, emphatic sentence like gearing sentence,“lian” sentence,“shi．．．．．．de” sentence and so on． Theapplicability of the potential Verb-Complement construction”V de\bu qi” is strong, itcan be either used in the oral style or in the written style, but it can not be used in allthe written style, like official document style and science and technology style．The last chapter is conclusion．...
