“再X也Y”的构式分析

On the Construction of zai(再) X ye(也) Y

本文从构式的角度考察"再X也Y",发现这一构式具有自己独立的意义——表假设让步,假设"X"的性状、行为的程度即使加深到顶点、极点(即"无论怎么"、"不管多么"的意思),也不能改变后面的结果"Y",从而使其产生强调结果不容更改的意味和表达反预期的语用功能;同时,这一构式义是在多重因素的共同作用下才衍生出来的,包括"再"和"也"的双重作用及与没有明确限量标志的"X"

This paper studies the construction of zai（再） X ye （也） Y and finds that it has its own independent meaning -- indicating hypothetical concession. It is assumed that the property, state and degree of ＂X＂ are reinforced into the top or the extreme, i.e. the meaning of ＂however＂ or ＂anyhow＂, the results of ＂Y＂ can＇t be changed yet. Therefore, it produces the pragmatic function of emphasizing unchangeable results and counter - expectation. Furthermore, this construction meaning derives from the combined action of multiple factors, including the dual role ofzai （再） and ye （也）, ＂X＂ without explicit limited signs and pragmatic reference. It is hoped that this study might be helpful for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language.
