This thesis takes a further study on the matching of overlapping monosyllabic adjective and the structure of quantifier and noun.First, takes a completely new analysis for the effect of adjective in modifier-noun phrase, finds out the differences with the adjective attribute with "de" and the adjective attribute without "de".When an adjective used as attribute, it has two effects:distinction and represent the property of central noun. For distinguish, adjective attributes can used for classification, or description, or identifier, so we named them "classification attribute", "description attribute" and "identifier attribute". The "classification attribute" is qualitative adjective without "de". The "description attribute" is state adjective with "de". The "identifier attribute" can be qualitative adjective with "de", it can also be status adjective without "de". The former one is called "identifier attribute", the later one is called "identifier attribute". The "classification attribute" has the highest distinction, while the "description attribute" has the lowest. According to our research, the level of high and low in distinction has a positive correlation with the chance of appearance with "de". The effect of "de" is weakening the distinction.For "represent the property of central noun", if the central noun is a name of categories, what adjective represents is "categorical attribute", if the central noun is a name of member, what adjective represents is "member attribute".Since "distinction" and "represent the property of central noun" both are the effects of adjective attribute, there is an issue of compatibility. "classification attribute+ categorical attribute" "description attribute+categorical attribute" "description attribute +member attribute" "identifier attribute+categorical attribute" "identifier attribute+ member attribute" are compatible, "classification attribute+member attribute" "identifier attribute+member attribute" "identifier attribute+categorical attribute" are incompatible.Secondly, this thesis has a study on two forms that match by overlapping monosyllabic adjective and the structure of quantifier and noun (near-noun form and far-noun form), and finds out their respective structure peculiarity and semantic mechanism, sum up the hidden and appearance of "de" when overlapping monosyllabic adjective modifies the structure of quantifier and noun.For near-noun form, the AA and quantifier do not have any special requirements; central noun can be noun or noun phrase. The noun phrase which used as modifier can be modifier-noun phrase or combinative phrase. Moreover, when the modifier is modifier-noun phrase, AA follows an intimate principle with central-noun, which means when AA has any intimate relationship on semantic or forms with vice-attribute, the matching result always is near-noun form, AA always near the central-noun.For semantic mechanism, the AA in near-noun form is "description attribute+ categorical attribute", so "de" need to appear. But sometimes "de" does not appear, for the syntactic position of near-noun form, the syllabic features of modifier and the writing style of authors.For far-noun form, its AA is less than near-noun form. According to our research, only nine AA ("baobao" "duanduan" "guangguang" "haohao" "huohuo" "manman" "tutu" "yuanyuan" "zhengzheng") used more in far-noun form than near-noun form, since their particularity on meaning. The quantifier used in far-noun form is similar with near-noun form, but the quantifier represents collection uses few in far-noun form. If the semantic orientation of AA is central-noun in far-noun form, central-noun needs to match with AA on semantic. If the semantic orientation of AA is measure word, there is no special requirement on the semantic of central-noun. The central-noun in far-noun form always is single noun.For semantic mechanism, the AA in the far-noun form with "de" is "description attribute+member attribute", the AA in the far-noun form without "de" is "identifier attribute2+member attribute". Since the identifier attribute could not match with categorical attribute, the quantifier in far-noun form without "de" has very strict restriction; the quantifier represents large sum cannot be used.Finally, this thesis investigates the priority sequences of near-noun form and far-noun form, and sum up eight priority sequences following:1. the priority sequences on the using quantifier of near-noun form and far-noun form (">" means "the usage frequency is higher than"): near-noun form>far-noun form2. the priority sequences with the two forms with "de" and without "de": near-noun form (far-noun form) with "de"> near-noun form (far-noun form) without "de"3. the priority sequences of numeral in far-noun form: one> other number4. the priority sequences of measure word in far-noun form: individual measure word> collection measure word5. the priority sequences of syntactic position of near-noun form with "de": object> subject> independent clause> attribute> adverbial> predicate> other syntactic position6. the priority sequences of syntactic position of near-noun form without "de": object>subject>other syntactic position7. the priority sequences of syntactic position of far-noun form with "de":object> subject> independent clause> predicate> adverbial> attribute> other syntactic position8. the priority sequences of syntactic position of far-noun form without "de":object> subject> adverbial> complement> independent clause> predicate> attribute>other syntactic position...
