This paper tries to explore the mechanism and motivation of the constituent order of bivalent verbs sentence by using the cognitive linguistic theory , and investigates the generative situation of several typical constituent orders mainly, and a further explanation is made on the mechanism of the constituent order of bivalent verbs sentence. The paper consists of these parts:(l) the general explanation of the constituent order of bivalent verbs sentence; (2) the influence which the function words make on the constituent order of bivalent verbs sentence; (3) the mechanism of the supplementary verbs sentence ; (4) the motivation of the interchangeable sentences. In this paper, on the one hand, I follow this principle that the form is related to the function closely, so I not only investigate the structure of kinds of sentences, but also explore the function of different structures ; on the other hand, I think of Haiman's "isomorphism hypothesis" as the focus theory controlling the wholepaper--there is not any structures which have the same meaning ; differentstructures always include different meaning and function. When using this theory to explore the reason of different constituent orders , I found that as a Grammar means ,the constituent order is not only the change of structure ,but also conveys the motivation of Man's cognition . The study on the constituent order further argues that the lingustic structure equal to the meaning structure , Grammar is just only the reorgnization and symbolization of Man's meaning structure.
