AB - This study aims to investigate the pragmatic division of labor among the triad of Chinese existential constructions — ‘you(有)’, ‘shi(是)’, and ‘V-zhe(V着)’— through a precise analysis of 4,500 data points from the BCC corpus and to model them from a cognitive-pragmatic perspective. The results indicate that each construction forms a sophisticated cognitive- pragmatic system where the selection of subjects(L) and objects(NP) is sequentially determined by the semantic constraints of the verb(V).
The ‘you’ construction functions as an ‘introductory model’ that reports the presence of entities within a space through summary scanning; the ‘shi’ construction acts as an ‘identification model’ that confirms the identity of a specific coordinate; and the ‘V-zhe’ construction serves as a ‘description model’ that captures the manner of settlement on a physical surface. In particular, the ‘V-zhe’ construction occupies a unique domain by projecting a subjective perspective through ‘static dynamism,’ which visualizes abstract states. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the choice of Chinese existential constructions is an inevitable result of the speaker’s cognitive scanning methods and discourse strategies. This research is significant in providing large-scale numerical evidence for the differences between existential constructions that were previously reliant on intuition and in offering educational guidelines.
