When the predicate situation of the time adverb yiran,yijiu,rengran rengjiu encodes the feature of[+continuity],the predicate situation continues in the content domain;when it encodes the feature of[+consequence],the predicate situation continues in the epistemic domain.The two meaning features share the same structure of the expectation,and the anti-expectation meaning develops on the basis of the continued meaning.Due to the prominence of anti-expectation meaning,in terms of discourse structure,continuative time adverbs mainly appear in foreground clauses,forming a discourse structure of"conditions change,results continue",and the lexical semantics is consistent with the textual semantics.When the continuative time adverb appears in the background clause,two discourse types are formed a discourse structure of"condition continuation,result change"or"condition continuation,result continuation or corresponding change",the lexical semantic is suppressed,and the resulted discourse expresses positive expected information and anti-expected information.
