摘　　要：情态动词"能"有多个相互联系又相对独立的义项,但母语者在交际过程中并不因此发生义项呈现上的困难或错误。对35万字左右的语料中"能"的用例进行了穷尽性统计,发现其义项在"肯定—否定—疑问"用法平面上表现出高度规律性的频率分布。通过构拟"能"诸义项的统一抽象意念,建立语义网络,并结合上述规律性特征尝试提出一个解释上述现象的可能模式。This research takes semantic polysemy of neng as its major point of interest,with awareness that its interrelated as well as mutually independent semantic potentials create no difficulties for native speakers in gaining correct semantic representation in communications.A frequency distribution with high regularity in affirmative/negative/interrogative usage is exhibited in an exhaustive statistical analysis of the modal' s use in a medium-sized corpus of contemporary Chinese. Through the abstraction of a unified notion and the establishment of a semantic network schema, this paper shows a brief yet unitary interpretation for the aforesaid regularity.
