현대 중국어 목적/결과 관계 복문에 사용되는 ‘好’의 통사⋅의미적 특징

Abstract

This paper examines the syntactic and semantic characteristics of Mandarin Chinese ‘Hao’ as conjunctive adverb, which is used in complex sentence. The syntactic characteristics of the conjunctive adverb ‘Hao’ are as follows: First, the conjunctive adverb ‘Hao’ has no constraint on person-type of subject, matching of the antecedent clause and following clause. Second, as a result of examining, the frequency of ‘Rang’ which is combined with conjunctive adverb ‘Hao’ is overwhelming, followed by ‘Qu’, ‘You’, ‘Jiao’, ‘Neng’. Regarding the semantic characteristics of conjunctive adverb ‘Hao’, we first looked at the semantic relationship between the antecedent clause and following clause in the ‘Hao’ sentence. The ‘Hao’ complex sentence can be divided into two types of meaning: ‘precondition-result’ and ‘action-purpose’. The ‘precondition-result’ type means that the result indicated by the following clause occurs by preceding event. And the ‘action-purpose’ type means that the action pointed by the predicate intends an event represented by the following clause. In the following section, we discussed what causes this semantic type difference. Focusing on the fact that conjunctive adverb ‘Hao’ has a speaker/agent-oriented nature, it examines whether or not the Modality is influenced by the personality of the person-type of subject and the realization of the whole sentence.
