基于言者确定性分析“但凡”“凡是”用法差异

Analyzing the Differential Usage of “Danfan” and “Fanshi” Based on Speaker Certainty

摘要: 本文基于CCL语料库的调查，通过分析“但凡”“凡是”的同现成分，包括名词性成分：A + N、光杆名词；谓词性成分：已定事件、不定事件、违实事件，认为这些成分处于以“言者确定性”为标准的连续统上，确定性程度越高，越倾向使用“凡是”，反之则倾向使用“但凡”。连续统两端的成分与“但凡”和“凡是”配对不当还会影响句子合法性。

Abstract: Based on an investigation of the CCL Corpus, this paper examines the co-occurring components of “danfan” and “fanshi”, including nominal elements (modified nouns, bare nouns) and predicate elements (settled events, unsettled events, counterfactual events). We argue that these components lie on a continuum of varying degrees of determinacy. Higher speaker certainty levels correlate with a preference for “fanshi”, while lower levels favor “danfan”. Mismatches in pairing components from either end of the continuum with “danfan” or “fanshi” adversely affect sentence acceptability.
