构式语法视域下“N中的N”的主观极量义探究及教学启示

An Exploration of the Subjective Maximal Quantity of the “N in N” Construction from the Perspective of Construction Grammar and Its Pedagogical Implications

摘要: 近期，“强者中的强者”“天才中的天才”等表达在社交媒体的高频复现，标志着现代汉语经典构式“N中的N”在网络语境下的语用复兴。该构式并非简单的同语反复，而是通过“范畴–原型”的认知机制，实现从客观陈述向主观极量评价的语义跃迁。本文基于构式语法理论，指出该构式具有不可推导的“整体性”和“评价性”，其生成机制源于对名词中心义的语用压制与原型效应的激活。针对国际中文教学，本文提出应重视构式的整体语块输入，采用“语块觉知–对比分析–情境产出”的教学路径，并强化中外极量表达的跨语言对比。

Abstract: The recent high-frequency recurrence of expressions such as “the elite of the elite” and “a genius among geniuses” on social media marks a pragmatic revival of the classic Modern Chinese construction “N in N” (N中的N) within online discourse. This construction is not a simple tautology; rather, it achieves a semantic leap from objective statement to subjective maximal quantity evaluation through the cognitive mechanism of “Category-Prototype”. Based on the theory of Construction Grammar, this paper argues that this construction possesses a non-derivable “holistic nature” and “evaluative nature”. Its generative mechanism originates from the pragmatic coercion of the noun’s central meaning and the activation of prototype effects. Regarding International Chinese Language Education, this paper proposes prioritizing the holistic chunk input of the construction and strengthening the cross-linguistic comparison of subjective maximal expressions between Chinese and other languages.
