In this thesis,we focus on the constructions related to quantitative structures in modern Chinese from the angle of Construction Grammar Theory.In the specific research,great efforts are made to achieve theoretical diversity and diversification of methods.On the basis of theory,the Construction Grammar Theory is the main line,and the prototype theory,metaphor and metonymy theory,the theory of subjectivity and the decategorization theory are used for reference.On the research methods,these principles are followed: combine the structural linguistics research methods and concept of functionalism;combine the description and explanation;combine diachronic research and synchronic research;combine qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis,combine induction and deduction.This thesis is divided into forteen chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which points out the research object of this thesis,expounds the basis of selecting the topic,summarizes the relevant literature,and explains the theory,method and language materials used in this paper.In the second chapter,"V + de + yi M+NP" construction is studied.From the synchronic angle,this part extracts the meaning of the construction,analyzes the characteristics of the elements,discusses the usage motivation;for diachronic research,this part describes the process of development of the construction,and on the basis of that,the motivation of the constructional meaning is furtherly discussed.The third chapter studies "(S)na jiao yi ge X " construction.The meaning and the function of the structure are studied,the semantic relations between S and X are analyzed,and the subjective process of construction is discussed,and the development process and its variants are described.In the fourth chapter,"hao(yi)ge NP" construction is studied.The properties of “hao ge” and the time differences of the “hao(yi)ge NP” are analyzed from the diachronic perspective,in the synchronic level,this part analyzed the using motivation of the construction and the semantic orientation of " hao",also the family inheritance relationship of construction described.The fifth chapter studies "(X)zheng ge yi M(Y)" construction.Begins with an analysis of the construction component,and then to construction of the derogatory meaning and meaning of evaluation were studied.Then,it discusses the constructionalization of the construction,at last,makes a corresponding study on structural variants.The sixth chapter studies "yi qun NP" construction.From the two aspects of the semantic accumulation and reproduction of the classifier and the metaphor function of the classifier itself,it analyzes the theoretical basis of the construction of the negative evaluation,and makes a comparative analysis of the three related formats.The seventh chapter studies "yi X yi ge Y" construction.Based on the summary of the meaning of each sub construction this part firstly summarizes the meaning of the "yi X yi ge Y" construction,secondly analyzes the subjectivity of the "yi X yi ge Y" construction through three aspects: decategorization of components,integration of meaning,prominence of speaker's communicative,finally discusses some relevant format.The eighth chapter studies "A yi M(,)B yi M" construction.First of all,the construction is divided into seven different types,and then discusses the mechanism of the different meaning of the construction,and then analyzes the construction of the subjectivity,and finally studies some special types of the construction that have become idioms already.The ninth chapter studies "M+ one V+ is + one M" construction.Firstly,the distribution of the construction and the component is described,then the coercion of the construction and the formation process of the construction are also discussed,then some variations of the construction are analyzed.In the tenth chapter,the construction of "yi M bi yi M+A/VP" is studied.Firstly,this chapter analyzes the componenst,and then studies the syntactic function,focusing on analysis of the construction family and inheritance relationship,and then points out the criteria of the “thoroughness-meaning construction”,at the same time,makes some supplementary note to the formation time of the construction.In the eleventh chapter,the construction of "you + quantitative structure(shu liang jie gou)" is studied.First of all,"you + quantitative structure(shu liang jie gou)" has been classified and described its distribution,and based on this the meaning of the two sub-constructions are explored,and then some related issues have been discussed.The twelfth chapter studies the functions of quantitative structure.Five basic functions are sketched: number representation,reference function,completeness of sentences,modification and statement function,rhetoric function,and then listed the two other functions: marking function and adverbial function.The thirteenth chapter mainly studies the general structure of the previous chapters,as well as the individual structure of the personality.The fourteenth chapter is the conclusion part of the thesis.First the basic viewpoints of this paper are summed up,then several innovations and some deficiencies in this paper are summarized,the Construction Grammar Theory and the study of Chinese meet problem is briefly discussed.
