A Study On The Types Of Information Groups Of The Verb-copying Sentence With Unmarked Complement (SVOVC_?) In Modern Chinese

This paper observes a series of interrelated sentences that share the same verb and the same information with the verb-copying sentence with unmarked complement (SVOVC0), in order to examine the types of information groups in Modern Chinese and offer some useful methods to Teaching Chinese as a foreign language and Chinese Processing.In the foreword, this paper defines information, information group and interrelated sentence. It also examines the characteristics of the interrelated sentences with the same verb and the same information. We choose SVOVC0 as an example to demonstrate how to make a research based on information group and generally sum up its 14 interrelated sentences.According to the structural type of complement, SVOVC0 can be divided into four types. The principal part of this paper, consisting of four chapters, analyzes the types of information groups, their component interrelated sentences and some determinative conditions.The first chapter is about SVOVC(C=adj./vi/adv). Its information group is composed of J1X1(C-S), J1X2(C-O), J1X3(C-V) and J1X4(undefmed C). S2, S4, S8" and S9 are its typical interrelated sentences. The second chapter is about SVOVC(C=verb/adj.+O' ). Its information group is composed of J2X1(C-S) and J2X3(C-V). S10' is its typical interrelated sentence. The third chapter is about SVOVC (C=prep. +O' ). Its information group is composed of J3X1(C-S), J3X3(C-V) and J3X4(undefined C).Its typical characteristic is that S3 can co-exit with S8. The fourth chapter is about SVOVC (C=QP). Its information group is composed of J4X2(C-O) and J4X3(C-V). S5' and S7' are its typical interrelated sentences.In the final analysis, we summarize the information groups of SVOVC briefly, present some related theoretical issues and expound the application value ofinformation group in Teaching Chinese as a foreign language and Chinese processing.
