Since 1980s, three syntax structure—A predicate object structure with an object, Nominals as adverbials, Adverbs of degrees modifying nouns—have been widely used in daily life. On the perspective of Grammar, the three structures are special expression deducing from some kind of syntax structure other than new kinds of syntax structures;on the perspective of the usage condition, the three structures, compacting to regular expressions, are of specialty of their own. In addition, in more or less the same period of time, similar universalizing trends find corresponding expression into the three structures, and therefore we may safely arrive at a conclusion that there are similar causes, causing the similar trend. As we know, semantics is the deep basis of syntax, and collocation of words depends on their combination condition of the word semantic characters on earth. Therefore, this essay focuses on examining and checking the semantic characters and semantic structures of the inner structures several abnormal structures, expecting to quest their existing reasons exactly and entirely.A large amount of data is collected for organizing and classifying. By examining the components of"Predicate Object Structure with Object"one by one, we could find out that the three composed components, with mutually-conditional and mutually-affected, formed multi-classes of semantic relations.At the same time, this kind of semantic relations is just its founding basis. For"Nominal Components as Adverbials", the nominals, in terms of senses, are restricted to limited kinds of expressions, such as the instruments, the materials and the manners etc. Correspondingly, the verbs are finite. The semantically mutual selection between the verbs and the nominals explain why this syntax structures can express meanings exactly, and at the same time be perceived by people clearly. And for"Adverbs of degrees modifying Nouns", the nouns in such structure is the combination of both the senses of degree and the additional senses.Moreover, on the perspective of information transmission economic considerations are the inside drives for the emergence of the above three structure. And enriched connotation and prominent senses expressions, enables the information transformers the three structures. As the formation receivers, according to the information on their hand, that is encyclopedia knowledge, objective surroundings and current surroundings, compose their own textual world.Language is an ever-developing social phenomenon; therefore, the three syntax structures are sure to have some specialty of their own in the process of language developing. By synchronically examining the three structures, simultaneously considering the situations of diachronical development a little, we expect to describe the existing characters represented during the developing process exactly, and to uncover several regulations and trends of the development of syntax structures in new age.
