Rebellious Lexicalization Of Tri-syllable Chinese Idioms

The rebellious Lexicalization phenomenon of tri-syllable Chinese idioms is obviously,which is essentially different with three-syllable compound word. So they belong to twodifferent areas. In this paper, we start to study this issue on the basis of the differencesbetween the two units. In the first part will give the sense of narrow idioms and establishthe type of verb idioms for the study. The main analysis of the article followed is done fromthe three chapters:First, considering the combination of features, idioms frame three words as the mainform of verb-object combinations. In the rhythm level, the type of “2+1” is a tight structure,which the extension of internal stop is not obvious, so it is fit for the performanceof modifier-modified relationship; but the combination of “1+2” is relatively loose, which theinternal stop delay is longer, so it is easy to express verb-object relationship. On this basis,compare a couple of typical structures, which are “Vs+Nd” and “Vd+Ns” structures. Byanalyzing the characteristics of their members and studying a large number of corpuses, it canfully prove that the combination between the components of “Vd+Ns” structure is loose, andso it is less likely to be the word. From the cognitive point of view of language,“Vd+Ns”structure is a process of understanding and expression, with ideological understanding of thenarrative, so it necessarily involves two semantic focus, which needs the obvious stopextension to highlight the focus. But the “Vs+Nd” more represents a thing or phenomenon,with a meaning of integrity, so there will be no significant natural extension. Chinese idiomswith “Vd+Ns” as the main structure, which has an action and its associated components tocomplete the description and the level of vocabulary is extremely low.Second, from the semantic point of view, semantic understanding of idioms involves twoaspects that are literal meaning and deep metaphor meaning. Idioms with the word easy,actually refers to profound meaning. The formation of semantic is literally the process of mapping the deep meaning. Figurative idioms which are not directly extracted, is constructed,so the way of phrase and word stored in people’s heart dictionary is inconsistent.Third, considering the social dimension, idioms have been created by the working peopleto express their thoughts and feelings. As a phenomenon, the social characteristics of idiomshave been improved gradually in the communicative process, which can better adapt to theneeds of the community. Lower working people’lives are not easy, so they will naturallygive the voice of criticism and ridicule about the dark side of society and the ugly side ofhuman nature. Thus most idioms convey a strong derogatory sense by using narrative way.Idioms that belong to speaking areas are very popular in daily communication, and closelyreflect people’s livelihood, so we must consider the public’s sense of language. There areverb-based structure and the predicate grammar, which make idioms easy to be considered asnon-word in the public’ language sense.
