A Corpus Based Study On The Combination Of Negative Words "不" And "没" With Degree Adverbs

Negation and degree categories are commonly exist in human language,which are two different categories of "semantics and grammar".The negative category is mainly expressed by negative words such as "不" and "没",while the degree category is mainly expressed by degree adverbs,and the combination of negative words and degree adverbs is extremely common.Negative words and degree adverbs are the important and difficult points in teaching Chinese as a foreign language,and their combination is even more difficult for Chinese learners to master.Therefore,this article selects the negative words "不","没" and 34 degree adverbs in the "International Chinese Education Chinese Level Standards" as the research objects,and examines and analyzes their combination based on the language ontology,namely:(1)"不+degree adverb+center word",(2)"degree adverb+不+center word",(3)"verb‘没’+degree adverb+center word",(4)"degree adverb+verb‘没’+center word",(5)"Adverb ’没’+degree adverb+center word",(6)"degree adverb+adverb ’没 ’+center word";Further propose relevant teaching suggestions.This article is divided into three parts: introduction,main text,and conclusion.The introduction section explains the reason for choosing this topic,research review,research purpose and content,research objects and methods,and research significance,etc.There are four chapters in the main text: Chapter 1 focuses on the six combinations of negative words "不","没" with degree adverbs,and counts their frequency of occurrence in the BCC corpus.Based on their frequency of combination,they are divided into five frequency levels: “high,medium,low,micro,and zero”.Finally,the symmetry and asymmetry of the six conjunctions are analyzed.Chapter 2 analyzes the semantic differences of negation words “不”,“没” combined with degree adverbs of different levels,From the perspective of the degree level of degree adverbs.Chapter3 analyzes the syntactic functions that different combination structures can undertake.Chapter 4 mainly proposes relevant suggestions for textbook compilation and classroom teaching based on the previous research results.The final part is the conclusion,summarizing the research conclusions of this article and proposing the shortcomings and prospects of this study.
