With the development of language, the range of adjective phrases that can be placed in “hao (好) + AP” and affirmative construction “hao (好) + bu (不)+ AP” in modern Chinese is continuously expanding. This paper proves through investigation on network language and spoken language that an increasing number of adjectives can be placed in “hao (好) +AP” and affirmative construction “hao (好) + bu (不) + AP”, and there is a growing acceptance of “hao (好) + AP”. This paper attributes this phenomenon to the following reasons. Firstly, Chinese southern dialects have a growing influence on modern spoken Chinese, leading to an increased acceptance of “hao (好) + AP” and negative construction “hao (好) + bu (不) + AP”. Secondly, whether the “hao (好) + bu (不) + AP” construction is affirmative or negative largely depends on the context. In a fixed context, there is a higher acceptance of AP in the affirmative and negative “hao (好) + bu (不) + AP” constructions. Thirdly, influenced by the Principle of Least Effort in spoken language, the speakers and receivers of spoken dialogues tend to believe “what they hear is what they get”. As a result, the “hao (好) + AP” is used more frequently in expressing affirmative meanings.
