状语分句的语义分析是比较复杂的。笔者曾写了一篇题为“用when,before,if引导的状语分句的语义功能初探”的论文(发表在《湖南师大学报》93年增刊上)。而本文则打算对用“after,until,while”引导的状语分句的一般语义和特殊语义作一些粗浅的分析,以期使我们能更好地了解这些状语分句的语义功能。 1.用“after”引导的状语分句的语义 1.1、一般语义 A、after表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后,是最常用的一个连词。主句和从句动词的时间关系是:可以都用一般现在时,如例(1);由于从句的动作先发生或先完成,因此如果主句用的是一般过去时,则从句宜用过去完成时。如例(2): Semantic analysis of adverbial clauses is more complicated. The author has written an essay titled “Semantic Features of Adverbial Clauses Sensed by when, before, if” (published in the 93rd Supplement of Hunan Normal University). This article intends to make some superficial analysis on the general semantics and special semantics of adverbial clauses guided by “after, until, while”, so that we can better understand the semantic functions of these adverbial clauses. 1 with “after” to guide the adverbial clause semantics 1.1, the general semantics A, after said the main clause occurs in the clause after the action is the most commonly used conjunctions. The time relationship between the main clause and the clause verb is: you can use the current time, as in Example (1); because the action of the clause occurs first or completed first, so if the main clause uses the general past, then the clause should be completed in the past Time. Example (2):
