“与其A,不如B”句式的认知层面剖析

The Cognitive Analysis of "Not so much A as B"

"与其A,不如B"句式的认知层面包括:主观推测层面,"与其A,不如B"因果复句所反映的认识是:P{B/A}=0.5;客观反映层面,"与其A,不如B"因果复句所反映的认识是:P{A}<P{B}。通过对"与其A,不如B"这一复句在人脑思维中主观推测层面和客观反映层面的对比分析,我们发现了复句"与其A,不如B"在这两种不同的认知层面中具有"不一致"关系。

The cognitive level in the sentence pattern ＂not so much A as B＂ includes two aspects：on subjective conjecture level,the reflection of ＂not so much A as B＂ is P{B/A}=0.5;on objective reflection level,the reflection of ＂not so much A as B＂ is P{A}P{B}.Though the contrast analysis about subjective conjecture and objective reflection in ＂ not so much A as B＂,two different cognitive levels reflected in the thinking of the brain have ＂inconsistent＂ relationship.
