A Study On The Structure Of "Degree Adverb+Noun" In Modern Chinese From The Cognitive Perspective

With the rapid development of language life,the combination of "adverb of degree + noun" structure,which is contrary to the traditional grammar theory,has not disappeared,but shows more and more vigorous vitality.On the one hand,adverbs and nouns of degree that can enter the structure of "adverb of degree + noun" gradually have a trend of generalization.On the other hand,the use frequency of "degree adverb +noun" structure in daily life is also increasing,and it is popular with young people on the Internet.This phenomenon has also aroused the attention of the linguistic circle.The structure of "adverb of degree + noun" has high research value in linguistics because of its unique combination.Taking the structure of "adverb of degree + noun" as the research object,we collect a large amount of corpus,and make a detailed description of the situation when adverbs of degree and nouns enter the structure of "adverb of degree + noun",the situation when nouns appear character meaning in the structure and the syntactic semantic function of the whole structure.Then using the prototype category theory,idealized cognitive model theory and cognitive reference point theory in cognitive linguistics,this paper explains the deep cognitive mechanism of the combination of degree adverbs and nouns,and analyzes the image schema followed by the structure of "degree adverb + noun".In addition,from the perspective of pragmatics,we also analyze the important role of context in the use and understanding of the structure of "adverb of degree + noun",as well as the unique expression value of "adverb of degree + noun",which conforms to the economic principles of language,enhances the emotional color of nouns and satisfies people’s aesthetic pursuit of defamiliarization.The study of the structure of "adverb of degree + noun",which is unique in syntactic,semantic,pragmatic and cognitive aspects,can help us to have a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of the flexibility and diversity of the combination of modern Chinese,so as to provide a new idea and vision for the study of modern Chinese.
