根据"反预期"理论,"哪里是A,而是B"构式从语义来说,它主要表示三种意思:1)不是A,是B;2)形为A,实为B;3)不仅仅A,而且B。在语用方面,它往往通过先扬后抑或先抑后扬,以增强表达效果。

On the basis of the theory of the counter-expectation,this paper explores the syntactic features,semantic features and pragmatic features of the construction "nali shi+ A,er shi+ B".This construction mainly expresses three meanings: 1) not A,but B;2) is A,but more like B;3) not only A,but also B.In the pragmatic expression,this construction always expresses strong feelings by praising after debasing or debasing after praising.
