The Study Of The"NV" Modifying Structure In Contemporary Chinese

In contemporary Chinese, the combination of Noun and Verb can constitute three different structures:"NV"nominal modifying structure,"NV"verbal modifying structure,"NV"subject-predicate structure. This structure is worthy of researching because the location of it's internal component's is dispute, that is to say, whether the headword of nounbial modifier structure is verb, and whether the headword of verbal modifying structure can be noun are disputable problems. And what's more, different structures with the same spelling are confusion easily.The Noun of"NV"nominal modifying structure is receptive the semantics feature of low animacy,low individuation, and they have distinctive feature, in order to modify the headword expressing headword's sub-definition . Most of them are abstract nouns. If the headword is a verb, the feature is special. The subcategory"Mingdongci"can enter into this structure. It can be modified by noun directly, and it can modify noun directly. The numbers of these verbs are limited."NV"verbal modifying structure is a verbal structure. From synchronic and diachronic views, we conclude that noun can be the headword of the structure. It is special for the noun serves as adverbial to modify the verb. So the noun which entering into this structure always behave the weaken of the reference and the strengthen of the modifier. The verb is to be the high typical verb, most of them are boundedness and high dynamic.From the aspects of syntax function, semantic type and expansion in order to make a further study on"NV"nominal modifying structure,"NV"verbal modifying structure and"NV"subject-predicate structure.
