现代汉语“爱+VP”结构分析

Abstract

This paper analyzes the structure of “爱+VP”, and divides “爱” into “like”, “easy” and “often” categories according to the semantics of “爱”. 1) “Like” category In the VP of the “爱+VP” structure, the verb cannot be suffixed with verbs, and a willing auxiliary verb cannot be added before it; adverbs cannot be added before adjectives to indicate the degree of completeness of the sentence, so VP is not considered a qualifier. The degree adverb “very” can be added in front of “爱” to form positive and negative interrogative sentences, and can be independently formed into sentences in the question and answer sentence, which concludes that “爱” is a predicate verb; VP is the predicate object of “爱”. 2) “Easy” category The structure of “爱+VP” can be modified by the degree adverb “very”. Like the auxiliary verb “easy”, it cannot stand alone in question and answer sentences. “爱” indicates the probability of subsequent VP actions or phenomena. Therefore, this article believes that “爱” in the “easy” category is an auxiliary verb, which has the meaning of “probability”. 3) “Often” category Commonly used adverbs expressing frequency are “often, total”, and “爱” of “always” type can be interchanged with these adverbs expressing frequency, and there is no change in semantics and syntax. Therefore, this article believes that the “often” type of “爱” has the characteristics of adverbs.
