Studies on Europeanization constructions in Modern chinese have been concerned universally in recent years, but some of them fail to be concerned. The dissertation focuses on the constructions which are ignored in the academic world. It uses 17.8 million words linguistic data from different speech registers to descript and analyze with a qualitative and quantitative methods from synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The dissertation consists of five chapters.Chapter One gives an introduction to some basic concepts, the background of selecting the topic, the value of the study, the review of the history and present conditions of the study of Europeanization constructions.Chapter Two is a research on Europeanization compound clause. It is made up of three specific forms. The first is a study on "Jiashe" and "tiaojian" compound clause. Its form is used "Jiang" to mark the future tense, which is distributed widely in news styles. The second is a study on the anaphora of personal pronoun in a main clause of Compound Clause. The third is a study on the backward conjunction in Compound Clause. The overall characteristics of Europeanization compound clause are addition of the markers. The outstanding characteristic of the constructions in Specific Form Two and Three is that there is an increase of use frequency in Spoken Chinese, which shows clearly that Europeanization has broken through the Written Chinese, and developed in Spoken Chinese.Chapter Three is a research on Europeanization of "Yi+ classifier". It has formed into "Yi+ classifier+countable noun", "Yi+classifier+abstract noun", "Yi+classifier+ver/adjective" and "Yi+classifier+complex phrases", which are on the basis of "Yi+ classifier" in traditional Chinese. The dissertation investiges their Europeanization development course.Chapter Four is a research on Europeanization of "Pronoun+de", Which develops into "Pd+Zirentong noun", "Pd+ untransferred noun", "Pd+verb/adjective".
