As a distinguishing structure in ancient and modern Chinese, double-object structure highly attracts linguists'attention. However, previous studies pay little attention on the distant object who is composed of predicate composition. This article makes a thorough analysis separately from the interior and exterior angle of this kind of structure in order to have further research. The paper is divided into six chapters. Chapter one is the preface. It introduces the purpose and significance of the paper, also concludes a comprehensive analysis which is related to this thesis.Chapter two analyzes the double-object structure whose distant object is predicate composition and related verbs. According to the semantic features of verbs and construction grammar theory, we designate verbs which can enter the structure and divide them into two types, six classes.Chapter three and Chapter four analyze from the interior of the structure. The third chapter emphasizes on the semantic and syntax types of the structure. Analyze the semantic and syntax role of every argument, then describe the different syntax and semantic behaviors of the six classes.Chapter four we make an investigation of the nature of"V"and"VP". As there is a link of intensity difference between the main verb and the predicate object, we can build a system among these classes and find a degree of independence of the predicate distant object according to the distance principle of iconicity.Chapter five analyzes from the exterior of the structure, try to find generation mechanism of the structure. We use cognitive linguistics to form the generation of acquisition type of double-object structure. Then by using the theories of metaphor and metonymy, we separate the different generate steps of every classes.Chapter six is the conclusion. We summarize our view points, explain the value and the innovation of this thesis. We hope we can go deeper with this research later.
