本文根據Goldberg(1995)的構式語法理論,從語義、句法、語用三個方面對“或X或Y”構式進行了分析。“或X或Y”構式的整合度可以分爲‘或N或N’→‘或V或V’→‘或A或A’三個階段,這三個階段的整合度依次遞增。“或X或Y”構式的意義擴張也可以分爲“選擇對象”、“選擇範疇”、“這個那個都沒關系”三個階段。從句法方面看,“或X或Y”構式可以單獨做句子成分,幷且“X”和“Y”的句法功能也得到了擴張。最後從語用方面看,“或X或Y”構式常常表達一種比較消極的意義。
This paper discusses the meaning of ‘或X或Y’ construction from semantic, syntactic and pragmatic perspectives, based on Goldberg(1995)’s constructiongrammar theory. ‘或X或Y’ construction can be divided into three stages by its blending degree; ‘或N或N’ → ‘或V或V’ → ‘或A或A’. Blending degree is higher from left to right. ‘或X或Y’ construction has gone through three stages of semantic extension; ‘representing selected target’ → ‘representing selected categories’ → ‘representing it doesn’t matter’. Syntactically, ‘或X或Y’ construction can be a sole component of the sentence, or can extend the syntactic function of ‘X’, ‘Y’. Semantically, ‘或X或Y’ construction always represent a negative meaning.
