Analysis of Chinese Reduplicated Quantity-Increased Construction"Cheng A Cheng A"
"Cheng A cheng A(成A成A)"is a common Chinese construction.In terms of formal features,the construction variables are noun quantifiers and time quantifiers,mainly monosyllabic words,and few disyllabic words.In terms of syntax,the construction can be a syntactic component out-side the subject in a sentence,mainly as an attributive and adverbial.In terms of semantics,the con-struction mainly refers to"quantity-increased"and"quantity-reached".The former refers to"including all","large number"and"continuation",while the latter refers to"achieving".In terms of pragmatics,the emotional color of the construction is distinct,but there is no specific commendatory or derogatory tendency.The construction mainly has the pragmatic functions of"strengthening the tone"and"enhanc-ing the sense of language image".Compared with the related constructions like"yi A yi A(一A一A)"and"zheng A zheng A(整A整A)",the construction is distinctive in many aspects.
