That the subject-predicate structures act as the object is a special phenomenon in the modern Chinese. The particularity lies in two fields: One is the subject-predicate structures themselves, the other is the verbs which can lead the objects formed by the subject-predicate structures .According to the inside form of the subject-predicate structures, they are classified into four types: n+ v/adj, n+n, v/adj + n and v/a + v/adj. Between subject-predicate structures and some subject-predicate structures(such as "gaowen xiaodu") there is some similarity. When the subject-predicate structures appear behind the predicate, a complicated predicate-object come into being(V+O(SP)). This complicated predicate-object(V+O(SP)) have similarity with some traditional "jianyu" structures(V1+N+V2). Seen from the angle of the function categories of the subject-predicate structures , they are predicative structures. Inspecting the distribution of the objects formed by the subject-predicate structures, we find that they can appear in the simple predicate-object structures, the predicate-predicate structures and the double-object structures. The verbs that lead the objects formed by the subject-predicate structures in these spaces are very complex. According to the meaning of these verbs they can be classified into ten types. When they followed by the objects formed by the subject-predicate structures many characteristics of syntas and pragmatics appear. The matic role of this special kind of objects is content object.In the end, on the base of all the analysis some conclusions are drawn as follows: Among the four types , the n+v/adj type has the strongest ability to play the role of object . The judging verbs, the sensation verbs, the speaking verbs and the mentality verbs are more usually followed by the objects formed by the subject-predicate structures. Some kinds of verbs have some similar figures when they lead the subject-predicate object,etc.
