The Vivid Adjective Form Of Modern Chinese

The vivid adjective form of modern Chinese makes adjectives have apparently descriptive patterns by using overlapping, adding affixes and the combination of several patterns. It came into being quite late in Chinese research history. However, its most important pattern, overlapping, appeared earlier. It has a long history and a lot of research achievements. Therefore, scholars have attached too much importance to overlapping and do quite lots of researches on it. However, they have touched a little on affixes and other composite patterns. We don't have a systematic knowledge of them and will further study at them in the future. There are many problems in the research of the vivid adjective form of modern Chinese to be further discussed. For example, it is not clearly defined; the attribution of the patterns is not in accordance with their forms; the emphases of researches are not balanced, and so on. This thesis aims to exploring some special points in it and analyzing some problems from various angles, on the basis of facts of the Chinese and research achievements of predecessors.In the research course, the writer first uses the definition from Mrs. Hazon as introduction. After that the writer does some researches on its external forms with a more complete and detailed description in order to reveal some rules of them. Next, the writer classifies it by its internal forms of construction. The following, the writer inspects its syntax functions. At last, the writer concludes its rhetoric functions from five aspects: the musical appreciation of sentences, the thickness of emotional sentences, the clarity of rhetoric meanings, the colloquial emotion of sentences and the vagueness of semantic meanings.
