現代漢語“無疑”的詞性探究

Abstract

There are lots of words of “Wu + Abstract nouns.” one of these is “Wuyi”.One of the most popular dictionaries for Chinese is Xiandai Hanyu Cidian. This dictionary classifies “Wuyi” as a verb. However, I disagree with this classification.First of all, we can analyze verbs into transitive verbs and intransitive verbs . The former has the ability to take objects. “Wuyi” does not take objects. Consequently, it cannot a transitive verb.The alternative is that “Wuyi” is an intransitive verb. Generally speaking, intransitive verbs tend to be verbs related to an action or behavior. However, according to my research, “Wu + Abstract nouns” like “You + Abstract nouns” is not related with action or behavior. This suggests that “Wuyu” is not an intransitive verb.On the other hand, what “Wuyi” does describe are the properties of status of people or things. In doing so, it actually has the characteristic of an adjective.So, lots of dictionaries like Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, Xiandai Hanyu Fenlei Cidian, Xiandai Hanyu Changyongci Yongfa Cidian and others argue that “Wuyi” is an adjective. Despite this, there is another phenomenon. This is the adverbial usuage of “Wuyi”. This kind of usuage is ubiquitous in Modern Chinese. Furthermore, “Wuyi” is mainly used adverbial , it also has the manner of speaking “Surely”, “Certainly”. This feather of “Wuyi” is deeply related with adverbs. So I argue that “Wuyi” can also be classified as an adverb.HSK Ciyu Yongfa Xiangjie argues that “Wuyi” is only a adverb╶not an adjective. I partly agree with this assessment. My opinion is that “Wuyi” fits the adjective and adverb classification.
