A Study Of The Structure "V Ge (个)VP" In Modern Chinese

A study of the structure"V ge(个)VP"in Modern ChineseThe Structure "V ge(个)VP" is a commom sentence of Modern Chinese syntax system.Existing research,the study of the structure "V ge(个)VP" was more focused on the format of the internal structure relationship and the nature of "ge(个)",those research mostly follow the path that from the nature of "ge(个)" to infer the nature of the structure, and there are disputes on the conclude of the nature of "ge(个)" and the whole structure. There are five views about the nature of "ge(个)" in the structure:quatifiers,auxiliary, "quantifiers-auxiliary",article and indeterminacy.On the nature of the structure ,some scholars believe it's a verb-object structure,others say it's verb-complement structure.Based on the summary and evaluation on the previous research, respect the language facts, in-depth excavation of "V ge(个)VP" structure of the nature of "ge(个)" and "VP" category and ideographic features from the syntactic and semantic analysis and discussion, have these views as follows:(1) Lv ShuXiang(1944), Wang li(1944) based on traditional grammar, the modern Chinese hunch that the "ge(个)" and "y(i一)" and "yi ge(一个)" developed the indefinite article function, FangMei(2002) proved "zhe(这)" developed a definite grammatical function, and LiuDanQing(2006) using grammaticalization theory and the typology review whether there exis article words in Chinese. These research results and that of modern Chinese language facts establish article category has feasibility.(2)The "ge(个)" of "V ge(个)VP" structure could make the non-nominals constituent VP nominal,the whole " ge(个)VP " reflects indefinite functions. "ge(个)" cannot qualify "VP" form quantity ,so it can't be quantifiers; In "V ge(个)VP" structure,we can insert "le(了)" and "le ta(了他)" between "ge(个)" and "V", it showed that the "ge(个)" is not attached to the V, different from auxiliary word "de(得)" in the structure "V de(得)VP", so ruled out the possibility of auxiliary. "Quantifier said" and "auxiliary said" excluded the more to a certain extent proved "article words said". We think the structure "V ge(个)VP" divided inside should be "V / ge(个)VP".(3) Previous research has shown that "ge(个)VP" is indefinite NP, so the "V ge(个)VP" structure is a verb-object structure. The structure "V de ge(得个)VP" is the mix of verb-complement structure "V de(得)VP" and the verb-object structure "V ge(个)VP", this structure is a deformity structure, it is a kind of language phenomenon that not code with a combination of grammar rules, so can't interference on "V ge(个)VP" structural qualitative determination of verb-object structure . (4) This article classify the "VP" in the structure "V ge(个)VP" as "adjectives form", "verb phrase","onomatopoetic words","non-nominal idioms ","non-nominal paratactic composition","two-part allegorical sayings", "small clause" and "compound sentence" eight categories. Based on the classification of the "VP" can be seen, the "VP" mainly embodied in the expression "high degree", so " ge(个)VP" mostly as a degree-object; In addition, there are some language material such as "图个方便","就喜欢个快",the "VP" in these materials contain a meaning that pursue a "quality" from the semantic view , we identified these as" object of quality ".
