说“雪～”与“很～”

Discuss the Modern Chinese Phrase Structure of ＂xue ～＂ and ＂hen ～＂

现代汉语通常以“雪白”为状态形容词的典型，并认为“雪”的含义是“颜色或光彩像雪一样”。本文认为，表程度深的“雪～”，本字为“黢～”，由其语义“黑”而转指“程度深”。与之类似，颜色词“黑～”也可表程度。性质形容词可以通过添加“很1”（程度副词）之类的词来表增度。状态形容词也可通过添加“很2”（语气副词）之类的词表强调。由此，在未知区别很1和很2的情况下，能否加“很”并非区别“性质”和“状态”的严格标准。

Modern Chinese phrase ＂xue bai＂ adjectives, and its meaning is understood as ＂as （snow white） is often used as a typical case of descriptive bright as snow＂ But this paper thinks that the character ＂xue （snow）＂ in this phrase should be originated from another character ＂黢 qu＂, which means black. The semantic of black can also be used to express the depth of degree. Both qualitative and descriptive adjectives can be prefixed with a prefixed with a ＂hen＂ ＂hen （very） ＂ to indicate the increasing of its degree. Therefore, whether it can be or not is not a strict standard to distinauish it is ＂aualitative＂ or ＂descrintive＂.
