主观评价构式“X之后再无Y”探析

On the Subjective Evaluation Structure“X Zhi Hou Zai Wu Y”

现代汉语中的"X之后再无Y"可以表示说话人的一种主观评价,多用于称赞,其特殊性在于"X"具有凸显性。本文通过对变项"X"与"Y"隐喻、转喻关系的探究,将构式"X之后再无Y"的构式义概括为"当且仅当X与Y最相似/相关时,X最具有凸显性"。产生这一构式义的动因有两个,一个是语言内部"再"的特殊性,另一个是认知凸显。

The structure"X zhi hou zai wu Y"in modern Chinese language can represent a subjective evaluation of the speaker and be used more for praise,which particularity lies in the prominence of"X".This paper explores the relationship between"X"and"Y"metaphor and metonymy,which generalizes the construction meaning of"X zhi hou zai wu Y"is that if and only if the X is most similar/relevant to the Y,X is the most prominent".There are two reasons for this construction meaning,one is the particularity of"zai"inside the language,and the other is cognitive prominence.
