If the adverb can modify the nouns, scholars' viewpoints are different. In this paper, on the basis of the previous studies further concluded that there are basically two kinds: one view that nouns can not be modified by adverb, scholars from the parts of speech into that omitting the verb, POS apply that term of the sentence adverb modified ingredients and said Rhetoric angles of the negative phenomena that can be modified by adverb. One view is that adverb can modify the nouns, the scholars from three plane, semantics, pragmatics, Saussure's linguistic theory, and culture, in terms of rhetoric that this combination is reasonable.The "degree adverb + noun" as the linguistic phenomenon was gradually expanded, we should not be contrary to the established norms and simply to deny or avoid talking about it, after all, this is an objective existence of linguistic phenomenon. We should try to identify that the existence of such structures is reasonable.This article first classify the degree adverbs and nouns ,adverbs are divided into two categories: absolute degree adverbs and relative degree adverb. the nouns are divided into people nouns, table nouns, time nouns, position nouns and abstract nouns, adverbs and nouns are classified, because not all adverbs and nouns can be free combinated, relatively speaking, those who said that the high degree of adverbs and typical attribute-term portfolio are more easily formed, from the point of view of semantics , degree adverb [+ degree] and the nouns [+ attributes] semantic characteristics of the anastomosis, and a high degree of integration of strong attributes, not only with semantic consistency, but also stress the extence of from the rhetoric effectiveness, it highlights the exaggerated expression results.Semantic Analysis is increasingly being generally recognized and extensive use of analytical methods by scholars, this paper also starts from the semantic features, adverbs and nouns that extence is the combination of both the characteristics of the semantic matching results. The semantic features of adverbs is relatively simple, mainly [+ degree], but the semantic features of the nouns are more complicated, the combination of the adverbs and the nouns is that adverbs [+ degree] semantic feature activates nouns implied [+ attributes], since it is the attribute, in the presence of the inevitable differences, so to the extent of the adverb modified. But not all the nouns have the meaning of [+ attributes], we can divide the nouns of the semantic features that can enter the structure into three categories: implication of "characters" , contains the "measured" and implication "metaphor ". Implication of "Characters" is the main person nouns, the premises nouns, abstract nouns and time nouns, these types of words have the obvious characteristics of the nature, relatively easy to the adverb combination Implication of "measured" is the main orientation and basic word that containing measure ,measures can be measured, so it can be modified by the degree of adverbs; Implication of "metaphor" is the main form of the nouns, have a certain image of itself, it can be used as a metaphor, analogy and by substituting,the target with concrete things to describe the significance,the expression has the special effects. Apart from the angle of semantic features, the paper also draws on the Shao Jingmin's specific analytical methods. He has divided it into semantic of Yezhi fingering,semantic of partial fingering, semantic of inside fingering, semantic of deep fingering and semantics of outside fingering. It should be said that the point of using semantic analysis approach to the "extent adverb + noun" structure has a fresh explanation, but we do not agree with Mr. Shao Jingmin of the partition method, what is "inside" and what is "Deep" refers to, Which the direction of"deep"and "outside", it is difficult to say that there is a clear distinction with a certain ambiguity and subjectivity. So from this point of the semantic analysis, and we draw on the semantic integration of Leach, the demarcation of the adverb semantic point to the nouns will divided into four: to the deep meaning, to the social and cultural justice, to the emotional meaning at and to the metaphor. The main to the deep meaning is the abstract terms, the significance of rich content, with distinct characteristics of the properties; to the social and cultural meaning of the table and the table is the main premises of the exclusive terms, people familiar with the notable features of their own expressed by the people or premises have been given a certain degree of social and cultural meaning, a higher social significance of a certain social, people use their characteristics and the nature of the cultural background of a considerable degree of understanding at the emotional meaning of the term referred to object significance of the nature of aptitude or derogatory by the migration, thus itself with the feelings of a certain color; at the main metaphor is table nouns targets and was referred to the description of a certain similarity between things, access to a analogy justice, often serve as metaphor, analogy or by substituting the target of a certain image. At the same time, our analysis of the semantic point is not in isolation, but in the specific language environment, therefore Context factors should not be ignored. Even with the same structure of the different context, the meaning is expressed differently, adverbs semantic point will be different. We believe that this kind of semantic point of demarcation that is semantically easy to understand, and this in front of the classification of the term, structural clarity to the full text, the text before and after to the organic integration."Degree adverb + noun" structure of the extensive application and promotion, in addition to the basis of semantics, we also analysis language from the dynamic, rhetorical effect, the media and social factors,we have the point of view that the formation of this structure, existence and the media are not only reasonable, but also needed. Dynamic is the essence of language, language for the dynamic development of this structure may have provided from the perspective of rhetoric;from the rhetorical effect,it has a concise statement abundance, humorously exaggerated effect and the expression of strong color spoken, cordial nature,casual ; media to promote contacts and more people accept this structure, and expanded the scope of its application; relaxed political environment and academic atmosphere, allowing people to accept new things, new ideas, a deputy to the structure has been accepted possibly. As a practical, innovative and the unique structure,it not only meets the people's need of expressing complex emotions, but also in keeping with the people's psychological in the fast-paced life needing the Simply cutting the complexity. However, the "degree adverb + noun" as a structure has its own limitations. It can not be unlimited, and we can not from "very woman" to "very table," because the access to the structure has the semantical restriction. In addition, the two sides of knowledge and cultural background have a direct impact on the structure in the real communication that if the structure can be used successfully. Therefore, we should be carefully in the use of such a structure ,considering the constraints such as semantic and context of the specific factors, as far as possible to avoid the embarrassment for using it inappropriatly.
