Analysis Of Surface Semantic On "VA" Verb-Resultative Construction

The Verb-Resultative Construction (VRC) is a characteristic structure of the Chinese language, which is one of the important representations of Chinese syntax flexibility. Even if its expression forms are concise, the combinations and semantic relations of its inner components are complicated. So the VRC aroused wide concern in linguistic field and became an important research subject.The first predication component can be monosyllabic or disyllable verb in the VRC,and an adjective or a verb often acts as the second predication component. In this thesis we analyses a major category of the VRC, abbreviated to VA, in which the first predication component is monosyllabic verb and the second predication component is an adjective.In the paper, we surveyed the research data of the VRC up to now, studied its syntactic forms and semantic structures, concluded and discussed main research work on the VRC, such as its focus, the syntactic forms, the expressive object, the coordination valence, the research work on the VA and the computational work on the VRC. We presented our opinions about their contributions and limitations. In addition, the theoretic foundation of our work, the computational model of natural language and Chinese semantic structure grammar, is also briefly introduced in the paper.For satisfying the needs of modern information society, we did some research work on the VA in computational linguistics. We first investigated the syntactic forms and the inner semantic structures in linguistics, analyzed the conditions of the VA with accusative case and the semantic denotations, and summed up 6 patterns of the VA.Based on these work, for each VA pattern we presented the semantic rules consisting of its semantic networks, the corresponding surface semantic conditions and rewriting rules, which provided the computational linguistic rules for surface semantic analysis of the VA.
