The disposal construction is a typical construction in modern Chinese.The form of the disposal construction is composed of administration,disposal preposition,acceptance,and verbal construction.The disposal preposition ba/jiang/na/gei is the most significant formal feature of the disposal construction,and it is also the constant of the disposal construction.Semantically,the disposal construction describes the disposal event in which the disposal subject has disposed of the disposal object and produced some disposal results.The constructional meaning of disposal construction is disposal.As a special form and semantic structure,the modern Chinese disposal construction is formed through constructionalization.The process of constructionalization of disposal constructions guided by different prepositions are different.Based on the commonality of the constructionalization of disposal constructions guided by different prepositions,it can be found that reanalysis is the main mechanism of the generation of disposal construction.The verbal construction is gradually become an adverbial,which promotes the reanalysis of the construction and the grammaticalization.But in the process of grammaticalization of verbs,the prepositions remain the semantics of the bodily verbs,thus activating the mental cognition of disposal construction.In addition,the disposal construction absorbs the formal semantic framework and usage of the preorder construction.The disposal construction is affected by the priority of the object semantic role,and when the object can be understood as a variety of semantic roles,it is preferentially understood as the patient object,which promotes the expansion of the object semantic role and provides an inner motivation for the formation of the disposal construction.The construction which constructionalization is finished will influence on the unfinished construction,accelerating the generation of the new disposal construction.In modern Mandarin Chinese,the disposal construction is still in a dynamic change which named post-constructionalization constructional change.Compared with the prototypical disposal construction,the non-prototype construction allows grammatical components which in decategorization to enter.The non-prototype disposal construction implies a clear definition of the subject of responsibility,and the semantics of disposal construction have also appeared conceptualization.In some cases,the non-prototype disposal construction can express the meaning of reasonable disposal.This post-constructionalization constructional change is mainly closely related to the high-frequency use of prototypical construction,the function of construction coercion,and the influence of Conduit metaphor.In the process of constructionalization and constructional change of the modern Chinese disposal construction,some syntactic construction are similar to the disposal construction,and these construction can be divided into two types:the construction which related to diachronic development(the instrumental construction,the object construction,the serial verbs construction),the construction of similar syntactic frame(the causative construction,the double-object construction).The modern Chinese disposal construction has different degrees of similarities and differences with these construction.Because the constructionalization of the disposal constructions which guided by different disposal marks are different,although these constructions are all within the disposal category,they present different grammatical representations in terms of the strength of disposal,the degree of subjectivity and the style of language.
