This paper examines the contradictory “Adj. + 的 + N” construction in Modern Chinese from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. It contends that this structure is not simply a form of rhetorical semantic deviation, but rather represents the compression and grammatical encoding of inherent conflicts within human multimodal cognitive experience. The diachronic analysis reveals that the construction has evolved from philosophical expressions and literary rhetorical forms into a productive grammatical pattern, demonstrating typical grammaticalization features such as semantic weakening and structural conventionalization. From a synchronic and multimodal cognitive perspective, the study proposes a generative mechanism of “cross-modal conflict and suppressive integration.” Furthermore, it constructs a continuum model comprising perception, emotion, cognition, intention, and social evaluation/norms to explain the differentiation and interconnection among various types of contradictory constructions. The research illustrates how the Chinese language systematically encodes complex and contradictory experiences through this grammatical form, thereby providing a fresh lens for understanding the interplay between language, cognition, and culture.

本文从历时与共时两个维度考察现代汉语“Adj.+的+N”矛盾结构。研究认为，该结 构并非修辞性语义偏离，而是人类多模态认知经验中内在冲突在语法层面的压缩与编码。 历时分析表明，该结构由哲学认知表达和文学修辞形式逐步演化为具有能产性的语法构 式，其发展过程体现了语义弱化与结构固化等语法化特征。共时研究在多模态认知视角 下，提出“跨模态冲突—压制性整合”的生成机制，并构建由感知、情感、认知、意图及 社会评价／规范构成的连续统模型，解释不同类型矛盾结构的分化与关联。研究表明， “Adj.+的+N”矛盾结构反映了汉语对复杂与矛盾经验的系统化编码方式，为理解语言、 认知与文化之间的关系提供了新的视角。
