This paper attempts to use theory and methods on the basis of structurallinguistics and is based on asymmetry and mark,For the measurement of the adjective"more" and "less" about phenomenon in word formation, with the sentence to bedescribed. Learning cognitive linguistics conceptual metaphor theory to explainthis.The tfill text of the main body portion has three.Studying the measurement of the adjective "more" and "less" morphologicalasymmetry in first part."More" and "less" fundamental justice represent a largenumber of speciifc things and small,Their difference is in the basic meaning andextended meaning of different ways lead to when both as a morpheme into words theability to show different morphological. Mainly reflected in the number and wordformation morphological differences,the number of,,,,moreon word formation isstronger than "less".Studying the measurement of the adjective "more" and "less" asymmetry in thedistribution of syntactic in the second part. As the number of "more" on wordf"ormation is stronger than "less","more" can show more meanings than less" in thesentences. Typical asymmetry mainly relfects on the difference when are both be usedbehind "de" as complement. Subjected to the characteristics and effects of the verbitself when they are used as adverbial.Studying the measurement of the adjective”more" and "less" asymmetry in thelevel of sentence category constructions in the third part. Asymmetiy differences aresignificant asymmetry when they are used as complement,leading to bothasymmetries in compairson sentence are obviouse. Asymmetry in questions related tothe analysis of the more pragmatic aspects and the asymmetry exclamatory hasrelationship with different cognitive abilities. Distribution between the imperativesentence imperatives at aiffrmative and negative imperative sentence.The innovation lies in this article:1. Full detailed description and explanation on"morphological asymmetry ability about measure adjective "more" and less".2. System descirption and explanation on asymmetry between measure adjective “more”and "less".
