| The aspect has been a hot topic on the grammar study; it is also one of the difficulties on the grammar study. Although previous studies has made important progress in many ways, however, the academic concerned very little for a very important secondary category in the aspect—the resultative aspect. In view of this, we make the resultative aspect in Modern Chinese as an object in this dissertation. It generalizes and interprets the connotation and nature of resultative aspect, and makes four criteri ons of identifying the restltative aspect tag words in order to clearance its range. In addition, the dissertation finally also take the aspect marker "diao" as a case study, analyses its syntactic function and describes its pragmatics function to further deepen the understanding of the resultative aspect in the synchronic.The dissertation is divided into five chapters.Chapter One is the introduction. It introduces the article origin, theoretical background, the objects of study, research methods, arrangement of the chapters and corpus source. It focuses on explaining the following questions of the theoretical background section:Firstly, clear the result aspect belongs to a "syntax aspect" in this paper. It belongs to one of the grammaticalized aspects, and expressed by the syntax significance of the particle. Secondly, clarifying the past study of the aspect, it clears the ways that the study of aspect semantics must combine sentences, although the verb is the main semantics embodiment, but not only. Thirdly, it is cleared the relations between the aspect and verbs situation type constraint.Chapter Two generalizes and interprets the properties of resultative aspect. Firstly, it reviews the previous research on resultative aspect in Modern Chinese, and then offers the connotation of the results on the basis of the results of previous studies:" resultative aspect expresses an observation way that the event has been completed and has the results in the development process of this phase of the observation". And it explains the concept. Secondly, it finds that the resultative aspect in Modern Chinese has three characteristics:non-finished aspect, dynamic, community degeneration. And it explants the detail of these three types of characteristics. Finally, it arguments the situation types which can participate in the composition of situations according to the content and nature of resultative aspect.Chapter Three is the establishment of the resultative aspect markers. The article makes four criterions the on how to determine the resultative aspect tag words of modern Chinese on the basis of previous research, namely:(1) The semantics of the aspect markers words have been grammaticalized, and only have the grammatical meaning, have not the vocabulary meaning, which can not have the V and X causal semantic relations between the verb (adjective) and aspect markers; (2) it can not be assigned to argument in the sentence; (3) it can not answer to the non-interrogative sentence separately; (4) it has the semantic features of [+Finish] and [+result], and can not be replaced by "zhe". Then the paper discriminates the grammticalized and tendency results complement according to these four criterions in order to establish the aspect markers words. They are nine words which are "diao,zhao" discriminated from resultative complement and "shang,shanglai,xia,xialai,qi,qilai,dao" discriminated from tendency complement. The last sections comparative analysis the resultative markers and completed markers word "le", in order to deepen understanding of the significance of the resultative aspect.Chapter Four is a case study of the resultative aspect. We select the "diao" as a case, and descript their syntactic and pragmatics function on the synchronic, as well as analysis the situation type. Lastly, we generalize the grammaticalized mechanism.Chapter Five is the epilogue. We collate and summarize the full-text content, and Point out the innovations and the drawbacks of this dissertation and the future problems to be further researched.
