新“被”字结构之功能视角研究

A Functional Study of New Chinese Bei Structures

近年来,现代汉语中出现了一种新型"被"字结构,"被"字之后可以跟不及物动词、名词、形容词,等等。本文在系统功能语言学视角下,对新"被"字结构中"被"的语义及句法地位进行了分析。研究结果表明:"被"兼具被动意义、情态意义、评价意义三种意义;在句法层面,"被"可描述为情态助动词。

In the past few years,there has appeared a new type of bei structure in Chinese,in which bei may be followed by an intransitive verb,a noun or an adjective,etc. This paper,from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics,aims to investigate the meanings expressed by bei and the syntactic element it expounds. The research results show that bei expresses three meanings simultaneously,i. e. the passive meaning,the modality and the appraisal meaning. At the level of syntax,bei can be categorized as the element of modal auxiliary.
