A Study On The Structure Of "Hen(很)+Adj.+V."

The thesis mainly studies the structure of " hen(很)+adj. +V" , in which de(地) as a adverbial maker can be omitted. From Chinese Adjective Usage Dictionary, a small number of adjectives could be used in the structure of"hen(很)+adj. +V" , among which monosyllabic adjective are: "shao(少),nan(难) zao(早),wan(晚),kuai(快),jiu(久),hao(好),yi(易)" and double syllabic adjective are: "mingxian(明显),rongyi (容易),nande(难得),gaoxing(高兴),rongxing(荣幸),buxing(不幸),cankui(惭愧),yihan(遗憾),keyi(可惜),nanguo(难过)" . Verb part in this structure can not only include single verbs, but also include verb phrases. Between "hen(很)+adj. " and"V" , we can insert negative adverbs or other adverbs, such as "jiu(就),cai(才)"."hen(很)+adj. " act as descriptive adverbials in the above structure. Once the position of "hen(很)+adj. " and "V" is exchanged, some "hen(很)+adj. " act as the complement of the sentence and its semantic relation with the verb differs from that when doing the adverbial. And the other "hen(很)+adj. " act as the predicate.Differences are found between adjective alone acting as the adverbial and "hen(很)+adj. " acting as the adverbial through comparison. It is also found that composition of the verb part is restricted by the semantics of the adjective or "hen(很)+adj. " .As for the usage of "de(地)" , this paper then researches into the restrictive factors of de(地) from such angels as semantics,prosody,grammar rhetoric and style. Lastly, the paper compares "hen" with other degree adverbs such as "tai(太) feichang(非常),zui(最),geng(更)" in the same structure, and makes an analysis of their differences.
