In modern Chinese, "Rang/Jiao Ni Zai VP" is a disambiguation structure, which is a discourse negation construction when it expresses negative meaning. By analyzing the syntactic features of "Rang/Jiao Ni Zai VP", the contribution of its components to the creation and development of the construction is summarized and analyzed. The formation mechanism is explored in terms of both internal conditions and external motives, and its discourse function in an interactive context. They are regarded as the function of negative stance expression, which complements the academic research on related constructions.
