皖西六安方言中“毫毫”的句法和语义功能研究

Syntactic and Semantic Functions of “haohao” in Lu'an,Wanxi Dialect

"毫毫"在江淮官话中有记载,指<数量>一点儿。研究聚焦于皖西六安方言中的"毫毫",探析其句法和语义功能。通过"点点"与"毫毫"的比较,获得"毫毫"的句法功能:词类上表现为程度副词与不定量词;具体使用上存在省略。在语义功能上,"毫毫"作为程度副词时,具有典型的正反同义结构,即"毫毫"搭配修饰某一名物较为具体属性的形容词时,总是会通过修饰其褒义属性来表达贬义属性的含义,并且该结构经过形式上的否定后,语义上保持不变,这可以通过概念叠加整合获得解释,但当该属性比较抽象或难以界定时,"毫毫"的这种用法便消失了。

According to Jianghuai Mandarin,expression 'haohao'means 'little/a little in quantity'.This paper focuses on'haohao'expressed in Lu’an Wanxi dialect in order to find out its syntactic and semantic functions.Compared with expression'diandian'in Mandarin,its syntactic functions are obtained.Firstly,it works as degree adverb and indefinite quantifier in terms of word class.Besides,syntactic omissions appear when it is used in authentic communication.As for semantic functions,degree adverb'haohao'has a typical structure that its positive and negative forms mean the same.That is,'haohao plus commendatory adjective'holds the meaning of derogatory adjective in counterpart,and this derogatory meaning remains unchanged though negated.This can be ascribed to conceptual integration.But this distinctive practice of 'haohao'depends on the degree of abstraction about certain adjective it modifies.
