The Investigation Of Expressing Subjective Quantity Of Modern Chinese Finite Adverbs

The finite adverbs has been long discussed in the research of Contemporary Chinese Language, but few studies have concentrated on subjective quantity of adverbs. Based on this phenomenon, this essay probes into subjective quantity of qualified adverbs with the assistance of with and without comparison method and a single comparison analysis. Ultimately, we reached the conclusion that some qualified adverbs can be with subjective quantity while some do not. Moreover, some qualified adverbs with subjective quantity obtain subjective small table, but some can watch subjective large or subjective right amount. And the subjective quantity of qualified adverbs varies in terms of different syntax. Meantime, five syntax format have been drought out in this essay, namely "qualified adverb +quantitative structure", "qualified adverb +the number of structure", “quantitative structure +qualified adverb”, "the number of structure +qualified adverb" and "quantitative structure +qualified adverb + quantitative structure ". These findings have opened up a new perspective for the adverb research and provide more examples for subjective quantity research, which contribute to enrich the subjective quantity theory and deepen the understanding of subjective quantity limit adverbs.This paper is divided into six chapters.Chapter one reviews the research achievements of subjective quantity,and also points out such issues as the research content and the object of the current study.The second chapter has made subjective quantity clear by redefining and reclassifying subjective quantity,and a research framework to decide whether qualified adverbs have subjective quantity are also brought out in this chapter.The third chapter points out the table of qualified adverbs of subjective small,that is,“buguo”(不过),“jin(jinjin)”(仅(仅仅)),“jinzhi”(仅只),“wufei”(无非),“zhi”(只)and“zhishi”(只是).Their usages as well as different syntax format to express small subjective are also presented in detail.The chapter four discusses other other subjective quantity adverbs,namely“cai”(才),“just(just)”(刚/刚刚),“jiu”(就)and“jiushi”(就是).Usages of these subjective small vocabulary and those with other subjective quantity(subjective large or subjective right amount)are discussed by with and without comparison method,and their different syntax formats are probed into in great detail.The fifth chapter points out adverbs without subjective quantity:“dan(dandan)”(单(单单)),“dan”(但),“guang”(光),“jing”(净),“pian(pianpian)”(偏(偏偏)),“tu”(�'),“turan”(�'然),“wei”(唯(惟)),“weidu”(惟独),“weiyou”(惟有),“zhi”(止),“zhuan”(专)and“zhuanmen”(专门).The adverbs without subjective quantity has been fully discussed.
