Orientation Of Modern Chinese Word Surfaced

The location words are the special word-class in Chinese The Chinese research before considered it belonged to Noun. Now some researchers point out that the location words don't have the same character in Chinese. They have experienced some phases of grammaticalization. The location words of two-syllable still have the character of Noun, but the monosyllable location words have the character of preposition. This article will talk about the problem of emergence & ellipsis bases on the preposition character of monosyllable location words. The main location words we will talk about are as follows: shàng,xià,lǐ,zhōng,nèi,wài.Considering the fact of Chinese and the result of comparison between the languages in the world, we holds that there are preposition frames in the Chinese. The preposition we called before and the monosyllable locationwords can form the preposition frames, such as: "zài......Iǐ"," cóng......shàng","chú......wài" and so on. The preposition frames always acts as locativesemantic role. The monosyllable location words always act as marks of the locative semantic role. This is one forming mode of the locative semantic role. There are many ways of forming the locative semantic role. The national words and the function words can form the locative semantic role together or individually. Some of the national words have the locality themselves and they can form the locative semantic role by themselves. It is one reason of the emergence & ellipsis. Then, the directional verb and the laying-verb belong to locative national words. The nouns which the directional verb dominating don't need any locative marks can also be the locative semantic role. The nouns which one kind of the laying-verb dominating need locative marks. The other don't need .It follows the rule: if the noun like the object, it doesn't need the locative marks. As the complexity of the language the emergence & ellipsis of location words are not absolute.
