关于“从来”和“从来”句

Abstract

In recent years, many linguists pay much attention on the Chinese adverb “Conglai”(从来) and the “Conglai” sentence(“从来”句). Till now they have made great research achievements on the grammar studies and other aspects. However, there are still many deficiencies in the study. This study discussed these problems and reached the following conclusions. First, “Conglai” has the emphasis function and can prominent semantic focus. In addition, “Conglai’ can help to express the aspect concept. Second, the presence or absence of the aspect particle “Guo”(过) is up to the sentence semantics, which is Static or Dynamic semantics. Third, the “Conglai” sentence can be used in a variety of contexts and has many kinds of pragmatic functions. Fourth, we compared the “conglai meiyou”(从来没有)sentence and the “conglai bu”(从来不) sentence on the semantic and pragmatic features. The “Conglai meiyou” sentence is about the objective expression, but the “Conglai bu” sentence emphasizes the position and attitude of the speaker or show that somebody has no some kind of habits.
