时间副词“快要”与“就要”的语义特征及主观化假设

摘要

The semantic features of ＂Kuaiyao＂ chiefly express short duration and objectivity,while the semantic features of ＂Jiuyao＂ chiefly express immediateness and subjectivity.The difference of the semantic features is the basic reason for their different usage.The simultaneous usage with a time noun,a time adverb or ＂Liao＂ prove their the semantic features.＂Kuaiyao＂ which is used as a time adverb is more stable than ＂Jiuyao＂,but its degree of subjectivity is much less than ＂Jiuyao＂.%＂快要＂的语义特征主要表现为短时性与客观性,＂就要＂的语义特征主要表现为促发性与主观性。二者在语义特征上的差别是造成其用法差异的根本原因,其与时间名词、时间副词、＂了＂的共现情况为其语义特征提供了有力的形式验证。＂快要＂作为时间副词的稳定程度要高于＂就要＂,但其主观性程度却远远低于＂就要＂。
