让步复句“虽然p,也q”的语义特征

Semantic Features of Concession Complex Sentence“Suiran(虽然)p,Ye(也)q”

在让步复句“虽然p,也q”中,让步连词“虽然”和副词“也”联结前后分句,整个复句可以表达一种对比义。这种对比义与副词“也”的类同义有关。同时,该让步复句具有虚实两种语义类型。有时,整个复句由于具有鲜明的转折义,可以进一步略去句首连词“虽然”,省略后句义保持不变。与同类的“虽然p,但是q”相比,“虽然p,也q”侧重表达“q”的不变性,两者在语义上存在较大差别。

In the concession complex sentence“suiran(虽然)p,ye(也)q”,the concessional conjunction“suiran(虽然)”and the adverb“ye(也)”both connect the front and rear clauses.The whole complex sentence expresses the concession-turn meaning,which is related to the similar meaning from the adverb“ye(也)”.The format of the complex sentence also has two semantic types:virtual and real.In“suiran(虽然)p,ye(也)q”,the subject at the beginning of the“suiran(虽然)”clause is often the subject and topic of the whole sentence.Sometimes,“suiran(虽然)”can be omitted without affecting the meaning expression of the whole sentence.Compared with“suiran(虽然)p,danshi(但是)q”,the concessional meaning of“suiran(虽然)p,ye(也)q”is more prominent.
