短语词"说不X"都具有揣测义用法和不确定义用法。在演化程度上有高低之别,具体表现为"说不定">"说不准">"说不好",且三者在优势用法上各有侧重。通过与近义词群"V不好"其后所关联的命题进行比较,发现"说不X"其后所揣测的内容常为非否定意愿,"V不好"则反之。

The speculative phrase "Shuobu-X" has two usages,which are speculative and indeterminate.There are strong and weak differences in the degree of evolution,just like the following sequence --"Shuobuding">"Shuobuzhun">"Shuobuhao".And the three phrases have their own preferences on the dominant usage.By comparing with the synonymous group "V-buhao" and its propositions associated,we can find that the speculated content of the phrase "Shuobu-X" tends to be negative while the phrase "V-buhao" is exactly in the opposite situation.
