March 9, 9:30 am,Deputy Director of the Chinese Linguistics Research Center of Peking University、Guo Rui, Professor of the Chinese Department of Peking University, is a guest in the 358th issue of "New Apricot Forum",Yu Zhixin Building A620 gave an academic lecture titled "The Semantics of 'Almost' and 'Almost Not'"。Lecture hosted by Professor Kou Xin,Professor Yue Lijing、Professor Shi Xiujuan and Associate Professor Liu Wen attended,Attracted nearly a hundred teachers and students to listen。
The beginning of the lecture,Professor Kou Xin briefly introduced Professor Guo Rui’s modern Chinese grammar、Achievements in semantic research,And extend a warm welcome to Professor Guo Rui。Professor Kou Xin mentioned,Professor Guo Rui’s achievements in modern Chinese parts of speech and the temporality of verbs have become a learning tool、Must-read materials for studying bet365 live casino gameslinguistics,And,Professor Guo Rui’s research covers a wide range of topics,In Linguistic Typology、Great achievements have been made in the semantic analysis of function words and the study of Beijing dialect in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China。
First,Professor Guo Rui starts from the language phenomenon of “almost” and “almost not”,Introduces existing research results on this issue,Focus on the analysis of Mr. Zhu Dexi’s "Aspiration Theory"、Mr. Shi Yuzhi’s “positive/negative” theory and Fan Xiaolei’s “anticipation theory”。Professor Guo Rui’s analysis and discovery,There are some phenomena that cannot be explained by the above theory,For example, the realization of non-desired events and the non-speaker acting as the subject of desire, etc.,This led to the "goal theory",Believe that the fundamental factor that restricts the interpretation of "realized/unrealized" of "almost no VP" is "objectiveness",That is, VP indicates whether the agent or central figure intends to achieve a target or a non-target event。In addition,Professor Guo Rui further explained the "goal",Including the main subject of the target and the previous target、Bet365 gamesThe impact of final goals and retroactive goals on meaning interpretation。
After,Professor Guo Rui analyzes the solidification of "almost (a) bit"。“Almost not (have)” in the interpretation of realized and unrealized meanings,There is a coagulation difference,Mainly reflected in three aspects: ①Differences in ingredient addition,“Almost not” expresses unfulfilled meaning,Cannot add "just" between "almost" and "not",When the expression has realized its meaning,You can add ingredients such as "Ji" and "And"。②Difference in ingredient substitution,“Almost not” expresses unfulfilled meaning,The negative word can only be "no (have)",When the expression has realized its meaning,The negative word "mei" can be replaced by "no", "wei", etc.。③Differences in phonetic form,“Almost not” expresses unfulfilled meaning,The pause duration between "无" and "VP" is only 0.03-0.09 seconds,“无” usually has an accent or subaccent;The pause duration is 0 when the expression has realized its meaning.07-0.between 18 seconds,"无" is usually read lightly,Simultaneous VP reread。
Last,Professor Guo Rui analyzed the semantics of "almost" and the reasons bet365 online sports betting livefor the formation of "Xianyu negation"。The core semantics of "almost X" is "only a small distance away from reaching a certain result or state represented by X",This meaning of "almost" is called "nearly reached"。The meaning of "nearly not reached" only means "goal-realization"、Three formats: "Goal - Not Achieved" and "Non-Goal - Not Achieved",No "non-goal-achievement" format,The formation of a "three missing and one" pattern。The reason for this pattern is that the sentence pattern "almost、Rejoice)" meaning。"Goal - achieved" and "non-goal - not achieved" express the meaning of happiness,“Goal-not achieved” expresses regret,"Non-goal - not achieved" is incompatible with the meaning of regret expressed in the sentence pattern "almost",Therefore vacant。Also,Professor Guo Rui pointed out,If "almost" in the "non-goal-unachieved" format is a compound word,The "无" in it is not an independent negative word,Then "Xianyu negation" does not really exist at all,It is impossible to talk about its formation mechanism。
Professor Kou Xin expressed his gratitude to Professor Guo Rui for his wonderful speech on behalf of teachers and students。Professor bet365 best casino gamesKou Xin pointed out,Professor Guo Rui’s theory has great explanatory power,Go further based on the research of previous sages,It embodies the "previous revision is not secret"、The academic inheritance and development spirit of "a late comer becomes a master"。Although this is a linguistics lecture,But it still has great inspiration for other majors in the School of Liberal Arts。
In question session,On-site teachers and students discuss the language sense of the corpus used、Ask Professor Guo Rui about the problem of developing language sense in linguistic research and the issue of new and old information in negative expressions,Professor Guo Rui gave patient answers to these questions,The communication atmosphere between teachers and students is active and harmonious。The lecture ended successfully with warm applause。
