The verb-measure words are used to mean the quantity units of the action,behavior etc. The verb-measure words constitute with numerals to be numeral-measure patterns marking the quantity of action and behavior etc . The ability of verb-measure words serving syntactic components is not single .Verb-measure words can serve as subject .object,attributive,p redicate,adverbial,compone. According to each word class , the syntactic position are divided into the typical one and the non-typical one . It is a gradual process from typical to non-typical. The typical model suffers to a lot of factors:the grammatical factorion of word class ,the semantic feature, the grammatical meaning of the syntactic position and the cognitive characteristics of human being etc.This paper inquiry the question that how verb-measure words choose and join with different syntactic positions on the foundation of statistic of 1,060,000 language material. We start out the model of the syntactic positions of verb-measure words are ranked as follows(from typical to non-typical)component>adverbial>attribute>subject/object>predicate.Th-e grammatical meaning of verb-measure phrases entering each syntactic position are different. The grammatical meaning of each verb-measure phrase that enters each syntactic position is same with that of each syntactic position. The syntactic positions still give at the same time each verb-measure phase in each each position with the different forms.The paper emphasizes the comparison of the two syntactic structures V|XQ and XQV2 formed by verb-measure phrases locate adverbial position and component position respectively. With the comparison of and in the two structures, we get a conclusion that the two structures reponse tohuman's two kinds of cognitive structure--effect category and contrastcategory.
