A Multi-Dimensional Investigation of Merit-Based Correction Construction “Yuqishuo A, Burushuo B”

“与其说A,不如说B”是表示择优修正的构式,其中B优于A,进而修正A。历时层面上,“与其,不如”与“说”虚化后组成择优修正构式“与其说A,不如说B”。共时层面上,该修正构式中A、B的语法性质、句法结构高度一致,其中“是”类短语的用例占比最高;该构式修正的是语言深度、精准度、正确性和恰当性。此外,该构式具有人际功能、语篇功能以及话题导向的语用功能。

“Yuqishuo A, Burushuo B”(means “It’s Better to Say B than A”) is an optimal corrective construction, in which B is better than A, and then correct A. At the diachronic level, “Yuqi, Buru” and“shuo” are blurred to form the optimal correction construction “Yuqishuo A, Burushuo B”. At the synchronic level, the grammatical nature and syntactic structure of A and B are highly consistent, and the use of judgmental verbs “Shi” account for the highest proportion;this construction corrected language depth, accuracy, correctness and appropriateness. In addition, this construction has interpersonal, textual and topic-oriented pragmatic functions.
