A Research Of "(N)+V 得+NP+VP" Sentence Pattern In Modern Chinese

The sentence pattern "(N)+ V得+NP+VP" is used perfectly frequentlyboth in oral Chinese utterance, and in written literature works. At the firstsight, sentences in this pattern share the sentence form in common, but theydiffer more or less from each other either in terms of syntactic structure or interms of semantic connection. Despite that a great number of experts haveresearched the use of "(N)+V得+NP+VP" to the certain degree, the rangethey have covered in the former research is not broad enough. Besides, theresearch up to now is capable of being controversial. Therefore, it's greatlynecessary to do the further research.The dissertation is written in order to do the comprehensive researchsyntactically, semantically and pragmatically, which is supposed to bedivided into five chapters.In chapterⅠ, constitution features, of "(N)+V得+NP+VP" is dealt with,in which "(N)+V得+NP+VP" being depicted separately, indicating therespective constitution features in the structure "(N)+V得+NP+VP" andthe definition of syntactic function of character "得".ChapterⅡinvolves the syntactic analysis of "(N)+V得+NP+VP". Onthe basis of former research, from cognitive perspective, the inside S+V+Csentence pattern and the V+O+C sentence pattern are further defined anddiscussed, holding the argument that when there is no semantic connectionbetween VP and V得, "(N)+V得+NP+VP" is S+V+C sentence pattern,which can be classified into two subsections: namely, typical S+V+C andnon-typical S+V+C. On the other hand, when there is semantic connectionbetween VP and V得, "(N)+V得+NP+VP" is V+O+C sentence pattern.Meanwhile, another sentence pattern is considered to be capable of beingclassified into both groups.In chapterⅢ, the semantic analysis of"(N)+V得+NP+VP" is involved.The author focuses on the fundamental semantic structure, semantic connection between each sentence part, usual semantic structure patterns, andsemantic reference of complement, frequent ambiguity as well. "(N)+V得+NP+VP" usually is composed of two or more than two the verb nuclearstructure, and of either concomitance relationship, or causality connection.Also, semantic connection between each sentence part is of complexity inthat complement in S+V+C is capable of referring to N, V得, or referring tono part at all. Complement in V+O+C semantically refers to N, NP or V.ChapterⅣconcerns about pragmatic analysis which split into threesubtitles, the first one is about the phenomenon of default in the sentencepattern. For instance, in the certain context, the head in the sentence pattern"(N)+V得+NP+VP" is vacant in many cases. In addition, other semanticpart is capable of being vacant. The second one is about the focus in "(N)+V得+NP+VP". Generally speaking, the focus in S+V+C is "NP+VP", the focusin V+O+C is VP, which is called regular focus, and some other focus is calledcomparative focus. The third one is about the relationship between "(N)+V得+NP+VP" and the context.ChapterⅤfocus on the variation analysis, dealing with the conditionunder which sentence with "把", sentence with "被", sentence with subject,Double-verbed sentense can be transformed from each other, and the waythe different types of sentences mentioned above transformed.In the article, the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic factors wereconnected with each other to do the further study on the basis of syntax, forthe further understanding of semantics, also for the wide application ofpragmatics. For the sack of convenience in analysis and problem solving, theinconicity principle in cognitive linguistics is applied into the study.
