If combine adjective-complement structure "A点儿" with a verb, there are two kinds of word order can be chose: "A 点儿+V" and "V+A 点儿".To the concrete "A 点儿" and V, some only have a certain order and others have two.The phenomenon of only using a certain word order to combine relates to the internal differences of "A 点儿" and internal differences of V, the different restrictive conditions between "A 点儿" acting as adverbial and "A 点儿" acting as complement, the different structure meanings and the different rules of organizing information between adverbial-verb phrase and verb-complement phrase.Other phenomenon of using two kinds of word order to combine relates to the word order change's mechanism, characteristics, superior order, and relations between modifier and head. In addition, this phenomenon relates to some questions of the modern Chinese word order type.Discussing these questions not only can deepen the understanding of " A 点儿+V" and "V+A 点儿" , increase the acquaintance with the phenomenon that adjective phrase act as both adverbial and complement, contribute to Chinese studying and teaching, but also can provide a gap for considering some theoretical questions, which relate to the rules of Chinese organizing information, Chinese word order change, and Chinese word order type, etc.Based upon the sufficient language data, this article adopts the multi-dimensional angle of view, which unites the common speech of modern Chinese language with dialect and classical Chinese, applies the research methods about cognitive linguistics and systemic-functional grammar to discuss above questions, and reach following conclusions:"A 点儿" is an adjective-complement structure which implicates comparison meaning. But the "A 点儿" ,which combines with verb, expresses a change process of adjective degree besides that.This peculiarity leads "A点儿+V" and "V+A点儿" to possess some characteristics which differ from general adverbial-verb structure and verb-complement structure. The different word order also makes "A 点儿 +V" and "V+A 点儿" different.In nature, "A 点儿+V" is not a typical adverbial-verb structure, but it always expresses subjective approval, and can form imperative sentence. "V+A点儿" is a verb-complement structure. It also can form imperative sentence and can express subjective approval in the main.In the way of organizing information, "A点儿+V " mainly have "goal +behavior", "manner + behavior" etc. And "A 点儿 +V" mainly have "behavior + result", "behavior + manner", "behavior + implication of object" etc.In dynamic meaning, although" 点儿" 's way of action are different between "A点儿+V" and "V+A 点儿" ,its main functions are gluing nature adjective to verb on the construction, making speech more tactful on the expression. So its conceptual meaning, whichexpress little quantity, is easy to be omitted. In concrete context of situation, according to the syntactic condition and the psychological inclination of speaker, " 点儿" can express big quantity, little quantity, or does not express any quantity. As a result, "A 点儿+V" and "V+A 点儿 " will express different meanings in different contexts and syntactic patterns.To change the word order of" A 点儿+V"and"V+A 点儿",some will cause basic meaning to change, others will not cause basic meaning to change, but they will make syntactic function and expression differentThere are three reasons for word order change of "A 点儿+V" and "V+A 点儿" . The first reason is the speaker's consideration from different angle. The second reason is the abidance by the principle of temporal sequence. The third reason is that "A 点儿"has some quality of verb, this phenomenon it can place before verb or behind verb is similar to prepositional phrase.Whether they are in common speech of modern Chinese or in modern Chinese dialect, the word order of placing" A 点儿" behind verb is a superior order when "A 点儿" or an adjective phrase which is equal to "A 点儿" is combined with verb.The source analysis and cause analysis of "A 点儿+V"and" V+A 点儿'"s for...
