현대중국어 ‘又’의 중복성과 결합동사 연구

Abstract

In modern Chinese, ‘又’ is an adverb that represents the repetition meaning of ‘once more’, ‘again’. This paper ananlizes the meaning of repeatability that ‘又’ represents at the level of the tense and aspect, going further, discusses the characteristics of ‘又’ by analyzing the types of verb that can combine with ‘又’. If the meaning of ‘又’ is distinguished into ‘又1’ used in the past or present tense, that is, non-future tense, and ‘又2’ used in the future tense, ‘又1’ can represent the repetition meaning when stating events that have already occurred in the past or present, but ‘又1’ cannot be used in a hypothetical situation though it is the past event. On the other hand, the word ‘又2’ cannot be used in definitive and non-hypothetical situations of future, but it may have the repetition meaning in recursive events, such as days and seasons. In addition, through BCC Corpus, it was found that in Chinese actual conversations, the part of speech that most often combines with ‘又’ is verbs, followed by adverbs in second and adjectives in third. This result shows that the analysis on the types of verb combination with ‘又’ is important to grasp the meaning of ‘又’ and its functional use. From the analysis result of this paper, it can be concluded that ‘又’ freely combines with action verbs, stative verbs, dynamic verbs, and psychological verbs, while generally goes well with attribute verbs, semelfactive verbs, and non-semelfactive verbs as well as action and stative verbs. In conclusion, it can be seen that the repetition meaning that ‘又’ represents can be conveyed correctly in the sentence when detailed conditions such as restriction on tense and aspect meaning, objectivity and subjectivity, sentence type, and verb combination meaning are satisfied.
