说“不得(dei)”

A Discussion on “Bu Dei”

助动词"不得"以否定的形式表达了肯定的意思,即"不得"和"得"存在着肯否对立的消失。沈家煊先生的标记论观点和张谊生先生关于"不"的主观减量作用的看法,可以很好地解释这一现象。这在"不得"的分布环境中均能得到验证。此外,"不得"的主观预期的特点也值得我们注意。

The auxiliary ＂Bu Dei＂ is similar to ＂Dei＂ in semantics by using a negative form, thus there exists the disappearance of contrast between ＂Bu Dei＂ and ＂Dei＂. The theory of markedness by Shen Jia-xuan and the subjective reduction in quantity of ＂No＂ by Zhang Yi-Sheng both have a good explanation about this phenomenon, which can be confirmed by the distribution of ＂Bu Dei＂. What is more, the characteristic of ＂Bu Dei＂ in subjective expectation should also be noticed.
