一顿x”高程度描述性语义的实现与情态突显

The realization and modal prominence of high degree descriptive semantics of “yidun+x”

The construction “yidun+x” has changed in many aspects, such as nature, structural relation, expression function and syntactic function. Modality is a prominent functional category of subjectivism in language, which is closely related to human cognitive activities. Modality is the speaker's subjective attitude towards the truth value of the proposition expressed in the sentence or the reality state of the event. Through observation, we find that compared with the traditional “VP(a meal)”, the former has a double deviation from the latter: the overall function and meaning are different, and the restrictions on the selection of variable items are also different. After grammaticalization, “one meal” becomes a paralogative component of descriptive modality, or it can further predict the possibility of being a marker of subjective high degree modality.

构式“一顿x”在性质、结构关系、表述功能、句法功能等诸多方面都出现了变化。情态是语言中主观化特征比较突出的一个功能范畴，它与人类的认知活动有密切关系。情态是说话人对句子表示的命题的真值或事件的现实性状态表达的主观态度。通过观察我们发现，该构式与传统的“VP(了)一顿”比较，前者对后者存在双重背离：整体功能和意义不同，对可变项的选择限制也不同。“一顿”在语法化后变成了描摹情状的副词性成分，或者可以进一步预测有成为主观高程度情态标志的可能性。
