“不+名词”的句法语义接口研究

A Study on the Syntactic-Semantic Interface of "bu+N"

本研究探讨"不+名词"的句法语义接口中的三个主要问题:"不"后接名词的生成动因;"不"后接名词日趋流行的内外在动因;该构式所包含的理论意义。研究表明,语义上,名词本身的类概念必须积淀到一定的量才能进入该构式;认知上是为了实现认知与表达的经济性;非范畴化是名词与构式协调的认知方式,类比是构式功能扩展的重要手段。本研究进一步表明,句法形式脱离语义与认知动因是很难获得完满解释的。

The paper intends to explore the syntactic-semantic interface of the ＂bu ＋ noun＂ construction, focusing on the following three issues： the semantic and cognitive motivation of the construction as well as the theoretical implications. As the research shows, semantically a certain amount of type concept of the noun serves as the prerequisite for the noun to be used in the construction. Language users conventionally avail themselves of the underspecifieation of language to economize their linguistic expression through the decategorization of the noun to achieve consistency with the construction. Analogy brings about the construction＇s functional extension. Findings further confirm that semantics serves as the base for syntax.
