高程度构式“X都X死了”分析

High-degree Construction “X 都 X 死了”:An Analysis

"X都X死了"是口语中使用频率较高的一种表达,文章借鉴构式语法理论,将其看作是一个表高程度义的构式,具有强调、夸张的效果。在对"X都X死了"中变量"X"的语义特征及其句法形式进行分析的基础上,尝试解决构式高程度义的获得问题,认为主要来自三个方面:补语"死了"的语义演变;拷贝结构提供形式依据;焦点敏感算子"都"的触发。构式的主要语用功能是主观评价、凸显情态和篇章衔接。

"X 都 X 死了" is a frequently used expression in spoken language.According to the theory of construction grammar,it can be regarded as a construction with a meaning of emphasis and exaggeration.The author analyzed the semantic features and syntactic forms of the variable "X" in the construction.It is proposed that the construction obtains the high-degree meaning from the semantic evolution of the complement "死了",the formal basis of the copy structure and the triggering of the focus-sensitive operator "都".The main pragmatic functions of the construction are subjective evaluation,highlighting modality and textual cohesion.
