程度评价构式“X就不用说了”主要是对X性状程度的主观评价,能够进入到构式的词项需具有可计量特征,同时X的量性特征越显著,越易激活程度评价的构式义,整个结构构式特征的浮现和其形义关系的透明度存在一定关联。此构式的形成与程度的梯级演化有关,同时言说动词的虚化和隐喻机制的影响、听说双方的互动及招请推理的发生,促使其构式化进程不断完善。相关构式“X就别/甭提了”程度评价用例的增多,揭示了口语化增强的环境下此类程度评价构式更易产生和完善的事实。这类形式上否定、意义上肯定的“形义不对称”构式,不论从共时还是历时角度看,都值得给予更多的关注和研究。
The degree-evaluation construction "X jiu buyong shuo le" presents a sub- jective evaluation of the degree of property implied by X. The lexical items that can fit into this construction should possess the feature of quantifiability, and the more distinct the feature is, the more easily activated syntactically the evaluative meaning is. There is a cer- tain correlation between the emergence of the constructional features and the transparency of the form and meaning. The motivations for this constructionalization are closely related to the evolution of levels of degree. In the meantime, the construction is also promoted by the grammaticalization of speech act verbs, metaphorical mechanisms and the interaction and invited inference between interlocutors. The increasing use of similar constructions like "X jiu buyong shuo le" reveals the fact that colloquial factors can facilitate the forma- tion of this type of degree-evaluation construction. The asymmetric construction, i.e., syntactically negative but semantically affirmative, deserves considerable synchronic and diachronic concern and research.
