ABSTRACT

In previous studies, negative construction “V bu de(不得)” of the Potential Verb-Complement is more one-sided, and they are only divided into two semantic categories: “Impossibility” and “Impermissibility”. The multi-faceted nature of this structure lacks careful classification based on large-scale corpora. In this paper, based on a large-scale corpus-based empirical study, it is proposed to divide the “V bu de(不得)” express impermissible meanings, and divide it into two lower semantic categories from the perspective of grammar, sentence formation, and pragmatic meaning, that is, “Evaluative” and “Dissuasive”. In addition, by examining the diachronic evolution and synchronic performance of the “V bu de(不得)”, this paper argues that the meaning of the “V bu de(不得)”has evolved along this path, that is, “Impossibility ＞ Evaluative Impermissibility ＞ Dissuasive Impermissibility”.
