Abstract

In modern Chinese, the construction ‘不怎麽 +X’ may be frequently used. In particular, 不怎麽 weakens the following X in this phrase. According to advanced researches, 不怎麽 in this phrase sometimes weakens X's degree or X's frequency or quantity of that. Such meaning derivation, that is, one synthetic form may represent various meaning, can be economic in language use, but it brings difficulty to acquire language to learners. To access and learn it easier for learners, how to classify 不怎麽 should be explained to which it represents abovementioned three meaning of subjective quantity in the ‘不怎麽 +X’ structure. In other words, in ‘不怎麽 +X’ structure, the cognitive condition of concrete subjective quantity of 不怎麽 needs to be presented in advance. However, preexisting literatures explain that 不怎麽 represents degree and frequency, which is related to synthetic form. Nevertheless, this explanation seems to be far from actual language use. Therefore, the paper assumes 不怎麽 indicates subjective quantity in the structure of ‘不怎麽 +X’. Further, based on the assumption, the cognitive condition of subjective quantity of 不怎麽 in ‘不怎麽 +X’ was analyzed to verify the supposition. First of all, corelation between the meaning of 不怎麽 and X’s synthetic form was analyzed. In the result, if 不怎麽 weakens subjective degree in the ‘不怎麽 +X’ phrase, there appears adjective phrase, verbal phrase, and noun phrase in X; should 不怎麽 weakens subjective frequency, only does verbal phrase appear. However, in this case, when 不怎麽 is a ‘verb + possible complement’ form or corresponds with specific phrase, it may be function as weakening frequency or degree as the language usage. Moreover, the cognitive condition of subjective quantity of 不怎麽 is as follows: concrete meaning can be recognized by X's synthetic form at primary stage with regard to the subjective quantity of 不怎麽 in ‘不怎麽 +X’ construction, but its meaning may be determined by the language usage. In addition to, critical condition for recognizing concrete subjective quantity of 不怎麽 is X's semantic feature.
