规约性隐性否定载体的辖域、焦点探究

Study on the Scope and Focus of the Carriers of Conventional Implicit Negation

隐性否定载体词的辖域类型包括:载体词+VP或载体本身;真正被否定的对象,即否定焦点为载体词、中心谓词V_(0)、VP消极结果及命题补集的高量,其判定主要取决于词类差异,如不同叙实类别的谓词性载体,辖域与焦点重合的叹词载体等。隐性否定的否定操作过程与元语否定存在相似的一面,其"回声性"材料的内容亦可落入否定辖域内,成为焦点所在,然而,隐性否定一般不会产生预设与否造成的"歧义"。

The study on scope and focus of negation shows that, implicit negatives can negate following areas: carrier + VP and carrier itself;the objects that are really negated include carrier words, central predicate V_(0), VP negative results and the high scale of propositional complements. The judgment depends on the difference of parts of speech, such as predicate carriers of different types of factivity, and the scope overlaps with focus. The negative operation process of implicit negation is similar to metalinguistic negation. The content of "echoic" materials can also fall into the scope of negation and become the focus. However, implicit negation generally does not produce "ambiguity" caused by the situation of presupposition.
