A Synchronic Research On The Lexicalization Of "Bu X"

The structure "bu X" is numerous and systematic in contemporary Chinese, except the words and phrases, some components are not fully lexicalized, critical in the relationship between the two. we try to discuss the synchronic lexicalization of the most frequently used "bu shi""bu guan","bu guo","bu cuo","bu yao jin" as research objects. From synchronic perspective, we explore the current state of these words, their different occurrence frequencies, syntactic context, as well as some theories and methods related with synchronic lexicalization. We expect that our research can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of "bu X"The introduction part is mainly the background of the research, the orientation of the content, the research theory’s basis and method.Chapter Ⅱ is about the comprehensive research of "bu X". this chapter is divided into two sections. The first section gives a research of the negative adverb "bu".The compositions of negative adverb and its central components are widely used in contemporary Chinese, which is closely related to the particular nature of negative word "bu" itself that the lack of independence, which led directly to the negative word "bu" needing the support of some other terms, which resulting in the loss of its independence. In addition, the rhythm constraints on word-formation and syntactic context, etc, all of these elements contribute to the composition of "bu X". The second part, statistical methods of corpus is used to investigate "bu X" and its syllables and frequency distribution, based on which, we screened five research objects of this paper with the principle of typical and high-frequency.Chapter Ⅲ to Ⅶ,"bu shi""bu guan","bu guo","bu cuo","bu yao jin" are invesgated, including their current state, the frequency distribution, syntactic context.Chapter Ⅷ. We try to discuss the relationship between synchronic lexicalization and the theories or methods like frequency mechanisms, pragmatic inference,subjectivization, and construction grammar.Chapter IX is the conclusion. From the perspective of this paper, this chapterexplores two questions. The relationship between rfequency and language changes andsome related theory in terms of synchronic lexicalization.
