문두 ‘沒(有)+NP+VP’ 구문에 대한 일고찰 - ‘有+NP+VP’와의 비교를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper reconsiders previous academic discussion on ‘YOU(有)+NP+VP’ subjectless construction as a ‘topic’ structure. Based on this, I explored the information structure and discourse function of ‘MEI(YOU)(没(有))+NP+VP’, which is a negative version of ‘YOU+NP+VP’.
‘YOU+NP+VP’, as a presentational construction, introduces a new referent into the discourse. Through the investigation in this paper, it was found that ‘MEI(YOU)+NP+VP’, as the negative version of ‘YOU+NP+VP’, fulfils a variety of pragmatic functions through the contradictory structures that present ‘non-existent’ referent. Such functions include: emphasizing negative situations, expressing negative emotions such as ‘discontent’ and ‘lethargy’ and conveying a strong positive meaning.
It is generally believed that the use of negative sentences is more restrictive than affirmative sentences. However, according to the corpus analysis, the use of negative ‘MEI(YOU)+NP+VP’ was more frequent than that of affirmative ‘YOU+NP+VP’. Furthermore, according to different language registers, the distribution of ‘YOU+NP+VP’/‘MEI(YOU)+NP+VP’, the nouns and verbs of each sentence pattern are different.
It can be noticed that language register is an important basis for the investigation of linguistic facts and deserves further attention.
