The Verb "to Play The Semantics Of The + N" Syntax Studies

Chinese verb "Da" is the common one with the most semantic items in Dictionary of Modern Chinese, and it has numerous implications due to the its productive ability on word formation. The verb "da" becomes the focus of linguists and language learners since the publication of Mr. Liu Bannong's "Da Ya" in 1922. The essays on the verb "da" is more and more rich in the recent 20 years. On the basis of former liguists' research findings, the thesis will research verb "da" from the perspective of modern semantics, together with related grammar and semantic theory. The thesis will select "verb 'Da'+N" as the object of study, and sort and summarize the linguistic data about "verb 'Da'+N" according to the meanings of verb "da" in Dictionary of Modern Chinese.Based on the selected linguistic data, the thesis will further investigate the collocation issues of verb 'Da'+N" by carrying through semantic categorization and componential analysis. And then conclude the goal-oriented semantic feature of verb "da"and the semantic category of "N", such as agent, object, coagent, tool, place, reason, result, purpose, means, reference, material and so on in the structure of "verb 'Da'+N". The "verb 'Da'+N" semantic field is composed of nuclear verb "da" and the semantic network around "N".The construction of the "verb 'Da'+N" semantic field is a significant practice for grammar and semantic theory, and also extend the field of grammar and semantic theory, which is provided with particular reference value to language teaching and the second language acquisition.
