“很好”与“挺好”语义句法差异及认知难点探析

An Exploration and Analysis of Semantic and Syntactic Differences and Cognitive Difficulties between"Very Good"and"Not Bad"

文章对"很好"与"挺好"这两个词的意义与用法进行了探析,重点关注了如何立足语境来选用二者。文章对二者的使用条件及情况做出了假设,并验证了假设:在评判某个人或某件事物时,如果对评判者本身是完全有利的,起到了毫无疑问的促进作用,就应当选用"很好";而当被评判者对评判者来说起到的是勉强的、凑合的促进作用,不是完全有效的帮助,或是好的程度次于"很好",则应选用"挺好";此外,还应考虑日常用语习惯,即套语和语境对二者选用的影响。一般来说,当对被评判者没有任何意见时,我们多用"很好"来形容被评判者,而"挺好"则多用于单说,用来形容某人、某事或近况等。文章对如何正确选用二者进行了分析,针对外国汉语学习者的偏误给出了具体的对策。
