The new look of the contem porary Chinese research, provides a new exploration space and new challenges to our language rese archers. This paper tak es the cognitive-functional grammar as the research orientation, by the basi c theory and method of the Emergent Grammar and the Construction Grammar as the guide, we stu dy how are the emerging constructions in contemporary Ch inese complete the ch anging from the pragmatic mode into syntactic forms under the action of the pragmatic motivations and different emergent mechanisms. Based on the analysis of the motivation and mechanism of the emerging construction in contemporary Chinese,we review, inspection and play the Emergent Grammar, and we try to build ef fective analysis fram ework of the Emergent Grammar.The paper is divided into eight chapters; the specific contents are as follows:Chapter 1 is the introduction part,we discuss the cause of the top ic selection, the main problems and the theoretical significan ce and application value of the topic selection. We comb the research status of the Construction Grammar and construction in Chinese especially the em erging construction.And then we acc ount the theoretical background and basis:the basic point of view and the related research of the Em ergent Grammar.Then we discuss the theo retical orientation and theoretical framework of this article,indicate the research ideas and research methods.Finally we explain the source of corpus and structure type of code.Chapter 2 is about "w hat is the em erging construction and the cause of its formation" we mainly discuss the definition,the dimensions of definition, characteristics and classification of the em erging construction.We get to kno w that the exploration of the emerge structure dynamic mechanism and the emergent meaning is application and development of the theory and m ethod of the Em ergent Grammar.The emerging construction is an innovative language struct ure.In order to m eet the demand of some pragmatic expression.In conceptual inte gration dynamic cognitive m echanism,the syntactic unit breaking through the conventional m atched form various syntactic adjustment occurs.After the adjus tment, the linguistic forms in the given context have new semantic functions and gradually have so me emergent meanings,then they rely on the high frequency of use,gradually convent ionalize and stereotype stable form.The impetuses for the emerging mode of forming a new express dem and actuation, the new media era of media power and the economy principle of language expression.Chapter3 is about"conceptual m etaphor,metonymy mechanism and the emerging construction generation".We discusses the ba sic theory of conceptual m etaphor and conceptual metonymy then we try to find the dynamic nature of conceptual m etaphor and conceptual metonymy Besides,we take for the emerging construction"ge kong(隔空)+X"and"ge zhong(各种)+X"as examples.The aim is to investigate the dynamic cognitive effect of conceptual m etaphor and conceptual metonymy mechanism during the emerging construction."ge kong(隔空)+X"which is stable f orm of f unction matching body formation.is emerging in the dy namic mechanism of spatial m etaphor"ge kong(隔空)"has changed from a specific temporal and spatial distance component abstraction to tab le action m anner adverbs.It m eans that speakers think that in the condition of not directly cont act,different subjects the dir ection of the other party or each other have some kind of sign action or k eep some state."ge zhong(各种)+X”is produced in the syner gistic effect of conceptual metonymy and conceptual m etaphor,the constructional meaning can be summarized that speakers think that the characters of“X”is in high degree or action displays which we can completely realize.Chapter 4 is about"the dynam ic conceptual integration mechanism of shaping the emerging construction",we use the typica l linguistic facts to prove the dynami c conceptual integration m echanism on the e merging cognitive function type structure.We discuss the basic theory and m ethods of conceptual inte gration theory and conceptual integration mechanism,mining the"dynamic"connotation,which is proposed the"dynamic conceptual integration".Dynamic conceptual integration is an im portant mechanism of the significance of dynam ic construction,mainly divided into a"m ash type integration"and"cut a type of integr ation of"two kinds of forms in the Chine se language facts,but also the performance of cognitive processes integrated into various concepts:such as the concept of compression,concept of superimposed and retreat back reasoning.New emerging construction"zhen xin(真心)+A/V non psychological",embodies the"syntax generation mechanism of analog ical blending",its constructional em erge righteousness summarized as subjective ev aluation contents of"A/V"shaped inner feelings for the prophet romance.The emerging construction"X xiang ji le(像极了)Y"to explain the two possible formation mechanism:a blend of analogy and constructional integration,a blend of analogy can explain the structure form ation,but can not fully reveal the constructional meaning implication,we concern that the"X xiang ji le(像极了)Y"forms of expression"by the existing X and Y xiang ji le(像极了)"and"X ji xiang(极像)Y"sentence by constructional integr ation and constructional m eaning emerges new seems to be more reasonable.The formation mechanism of the emerging construction"zui mei(最美)+X"is the dis tance iconicity which is motivated b y the concept of the adhesive.The essence of the concept of bonding is the concept of cognitive mode operation.Chapter5 is about"dynam ic categorization mechanism for emerging construction promoting effect",the foundation of our research in the philosophy and methods to fully absorb the cognitive linguistics,prototype category theory,language typology of the treasury,through the prototype theory of categorization of thought and language typology prominent category of treasury the ex pansion of the interlinked,attem pts to construct a"dynam ic categorization sy stem"."Dynamic categorization system"including the language for ms in dif ferent categories which is about interaction and replacement attention,thinking the c omplex situation also has"the form m eaning"of prominent category expansion led to the relationship between them.The em erging construction"wu/bu(无/不)X bu(不)Y"is generated due to parallel prominent category expansion.Parallel category highly prom inent make the T reasury form expansion to conditions in the form ation of a sem antic category,semantic occupation,and in the context of the protoco l under category,into the conditio n category.Contemporary Chinese new constructions"ruo bao le(弱爆了),meng fan le(萌翻了),mei ku le(美哭了)"etc,are the Chinese prominent attracted to another category treasury form,so that not as degree complement many previous form to warehouse.Generate a lot of"Vi+NP"in news he adlines motivation is transitiv e prominent category expansion;and the generation after the form"shi shi hou(是时候)+X"contains"gradually modality category is the time".The emerging structure formation mechanism of"fu ze(负责)+X non event"is on the lift frame and events forcing event category.Chapter6 is about"m eta language expr ession of the em erging construction dynamic shape",we use the typical of the em erging construction to il lustrate the meta language expression of dynamic role of em erging constructions.The first is to discuss the basic theory of the m ethod of m eta language theory,which including"m eta language","meta function"and other basic co ncepts explained,then we discuss the dynamic connotation of m eta language expr ession,which is m ainly reflected the expression of dynam ic development and m eta language express it self to prom oting emerging construction two aspects ef fect type.Meta language constructions is the expression of meta constructional level,namely,language usage element type.We based on the content,which citing quoted quote content and when contextual relevance degree will meta language structure type classification.The emerging construction“zui(最)X,mei you zhi yi(没有之一)”,which is beginning with the meta negation usage,in the process of using,"mei you zhi yi(没有之一)"gradually from the original quote framework,to meta language,“zui(最)X,mei you zhi yi(没有之一)”changes into a new form and function.Construction"bu yao/bu neng(不要/不能)tai(太)+X"and"bu xiang dang X1 de X2 bu shi hao X3(不想当X1的X2不是好X3)"is a meta language expression,were quoted as is the fram ework of the hot events and aphorism s,which originated in the meta language quoted,is due to the high frequency of use,continue to absorb new contextual meaning and gradually solidified into a new structure expression.Originated in the m eta language usage,the constructions"X ke yi you(可以有)"has formed a new constitutive expression.Chapter7 is about“dy namic cognitive context and the em erging generation of constructions”,we mainly explore the ef fect of the cognitive context in the shaping of the emerging constructions.The first we introduce the relationship between the cognitive context and the relev ance theory.Then we introduce the concept of cognitive context,Context-aware,contextual assumptions and pragmatic inference are important parts of the dynamic cognitive context.About the emerging construction"zui(最)X,mei you zhi yi(没有之一)",we have the views that on the basis of language knowledge and experiences the speaker build new cognitive context,in the case of cognitive context is high uncertainty,the speaker express his inten tions and experience by m eans of syntactic,to help the recipient update cognitive contextual assumptions.The emergent meaning of the structure"bie na(别拿)X bu dang(不当)Y"is based on the dynam ic cognitive context reductive inference proces s.The generation of the em erging construction"zhong guo(中国)+hao(好)X"reflects the said object X is higher levels of outstanding.Chapter 8 is conclusion and the com plementary part.We consider that the dynamic generation mechanism of the em erging construction is systemic.The various cognitive mechanisms are not unrelated with each ot her; various cognitive mechanisms promote "synergy" effect.We believe that of pro cess the new em erging construction’s dynamic emerging is a constant process of subjectiv ity.The emerging constructions increasingly conventionalize in use of a subjective cons tructions.Express the speaker’ s subjective feelings,cognitive or p erspective.With the process of the em erging constructions’ dynamic emerging, there are some chaotic, ambiguity expression.Chaos is dif ferent from polysemy.Chaos is closely related to Chinese parts of speech “N.-V.” including-pattern and the unconscious a bout the changely category during the word-making.The emerging constructions can actuate reset the form and function of Chinese, they can mold and promoting plant growth of the non-predictive adjective and modal words. In contemporary Chinese, the using of the em erging constructions is a collective innovation behavior. Recording an drendition the new expression form can provide the necessary reference for Language planning and language standardization. Absorbing the research results of the Em ergent Grammar in a tim ely manner, is beneficial to enlarge the review horizon in dictionary compilation or revision.
