On Balanced Contrast Pattern“X CHENG KE GUI,Y JIA GENG GAO”

“X诚可贵,Y价更高”为差比义构式,包含前后两个关联项,它们结构对称、字数相等,属于对举结构。“更”是该差比构式的核心标记,“价”为比较属性,“价更高”表达评价的量级。X和Y在共同投射出的某一认知域中形成程度范畴的量级比较,X被让步肯定,目标Y获得属性偏离进而得到突显。构式义成因源自X和Y之间的量级比较、构式的修辞化转变以及其隐含的“图形-背景”心理认知基础。构式的话语功能主要表现为主观性表达、标记焦点与强调重点功能,大多表示说话人重点强调因素Y以及对听话人的建议、规劝,整体具有积极的语义色彩。在类推机制和经济性原则的驱动下,构式呈现出了标题化的趋势。
