The preposition is grammaticalized from the verb that is the focus of the domestic and international grammatical circles. It has important meaning to the source of the preposition. Some verbs have already change into preposition completely, such as"jiang(将)","ba(把)","bei(被)";some verbs are in the process of the change, such as"zhao(找)","wen(问)","zou(走)".Currently, about the grammaticalization from the verb to the preposition, linguists pay more attention to those high degree prepositions, but less to the un-complete grammaticalization ones."Zhao(找)","wen(问)"at the push of the function descend into the serial verb construction and start reanalyzing process. But the usage as a preposition isn't wide and having a request to the condition while making preposition usage. The degree of the grammaticalization is low. They all take place to re- analysis, but the condition of analogy is different. In modern Chinese language these words are used as the solid righteousness verb, then the half solid, to the preposition phrase. These usages do a certain reflection to it's last of turned into process.Basing upon synchronic plane, with the present condition of"zhao(找),wen(问)"etc for example, this thesis describes the conditions of the un-complete grammaticalization in two dimensions: synchronic and diachronic. It reflects that Mandarin is the sendimentation of linguistics development during the different historical periods.
