摘要
本文运用认知背景下的事件语义学理论对否定副词“不”和“没(有)”的语义差别进行了分析,提出:作为事件否定词,“不”是未然事件否定词,“没(有)”是已然事件否定词;作为状态否定词,“不”是内部状态否定词,“没(有)”是外部状态否定词。文章还论证了这一分析在概括性和解释力上都优于传统的语义描写和语义特征分析。
This paper presents a contrastive study of the negative adverbs of ＂bu （不） ＂ and ＂meiyou （没有） ＂ with the application of event semantics. It argues that as an adverb of negating events, ＂bu （不）＂ implies an event reporter＇ s perspective from the starting point of the event, which therefore entails that the event has not started; while ＂meiyou （没有）＂ implies the reporter＇ s perspective from the end point of the event, which therefore entails that the event has finished. As an adverb of negating the existence of a certain state, ＂bu （不） ＂ negates the existence of an interior state while ＂meiyou （没有） ＂ negates the existence of an exterior state. The paper also demonstrates that the present analysis achieves better generality and greater explanatory power than the traditional semantic analysis and the analysis of distinctive features.
