摘要
“很+量成分VP”以“很……量成分”为焦点框架,实现量级互动,达到量的“中和”。文章从该构式群的结构形式和语义特征、语用意义和语用动因几个方面重新挖掘,认为构件“不定量VP”的语义内涵为[-极端量][-真实量],构式整体表达主观高量。“很+不定量VP”通过量的迂回表达,达到传递主观感情、凸显VP性状、委婉柔化语气的效果,是一类具有反预期/合预期的语用意义的构式。背后的语用成因有来自认知和礼貌原则的因素。量范畴和情态之间是一个连续统:高量>夸张强化>主观性、委婉性。
The“very+quantity component VP”uses the“very......quantity component”as the focal framework to realize the volume interaction and achieve the“neutralization”of the volume.The article discusses the structural form and semantic features of the construct group,and the“very+volume component VP”.The article examines the structural form and semantic features,the semantic meaning and the semantic motivation of the construct group,and concludes that the semantic connotation of the construct“indefinite quantity VP”is[-extreme quantity][-real quanti⁃ty],and the construct as a whole expresses subjective high quantity.The“very+indefinite VP”conveys subjective feelings,highlights the VP trait,and euphemistically softens the tone through the roundabout expression of quantity,which is a type of construction with counter-expected/expected semantic meaning.The underlying pragmatic causes are derived from cognitive and politeness principles.There is a continuum between quantitative categories and moods:high quantity>exaggerated intensification>subjectivity,euphemism.
