It is easy to hear these sentences such as "Ta shi women xuexiao zui shuai de nansheng zhiyi.""Zhongguo shi shijie shang zui da de guojia zhiyi."and so on in our life.however, they are controversial in the traditional grammar rules.There is a problem about JiLiang adverbs"zui"and "zhiyi"arrange in pairs.Some experts have found this phenomenon,but they have not explored the judge classified structure which involved"zhiyi".This text regards this as the breakthrough point,based on the previous studies,through the analysis of a large corpora,main using quantitative description and the method of combining qualitative analysis, investigate the structure’s grammar structure, semantic function, pragmatic meaning and comparative study.In the following respects presented our views:1.A’s grammar structure are varieties than B in the structure"A shi B zhiyi".It contains nouns and noun phrases and some "shubin"phrases."shi"in"A shi B zhiyi" have not the negative form generally, it can be modified by adverbs, and can be replaced by "wei"、"xi".The structure "A shi B zhiyi" can work as a sentence, also can be used to composition a sentence. The former is more quantity advantage than the latter."A shi B zhiyi "is the most frequently used in its seven kinds of similar structures.2."zhiyi"have the sememe of [+part]. Classified is the semantic characteristics of "A shi B zhiyi", according to A is nouns or predication,the structure can be classified to"zhentong"and"zhuntong".It can’t express existence, equal, description and explanation. This depends on the structure itself and the semantic relations between A and B.3. A is the theme,"zhiyi"is the focus of "A shi B zhiyi", the aim of the communication is to highlight that A belongs to B, so we must pay more attention to A.There are many differences among"zuiXN,meiyou zhiyi","zui...zhiyi",and"...zhiyi",they emphasize different targets:the first structure emphasize the position which is on the top; the second mean it is close to the top,but there are ranges; the third structure mean the whole range of arbitrary point. Then we reveals that the "A shi B zhiyi" structure more in line with the Chinese economy accurate and not exaggerated communication psychology. The A in "A shi B zhiyi" sentence as a theme reflects the move of people communication viewpoint, also make the recipient know the object and the introduction of the subject."A shi B zhiyi" is statement generally, extremely individual in question as clauses in use,sometimes, they can be used in the exclamatory sentence according the speakers strong emotions, and they are not found and imperative sentence.4."A shi B","A shi B zhiyi ","A shi (yi) liang B" can be replaced in certain conditions. We usually use "A shi B" or "A shi (yi) liang B" under these conditions (1) A is individual, the expression emphasis the "quality "rather than the "quantity" of A,the accessibility of B is low;(2) A is not individuals. We usually use "A shi B zhiyi" under these conditions:(1) to emphasize the "quantity" rather than "quality" of A;(2) there weren’t "collective" concept words in B, when we use the other two kinds of forms can be misinterpreted as equal;(3) the two other forms not conform to the communication psychological need. Three ways can use under these situations:(1) B contains words which have the "collective" concept, the other two forms can’t misunderstandings for equal;(2)the development of social communication psychological. In a certain period, B whether have "collective" concept is the restricted conditions,it is the key of conversion among the three structures.At the same time, the conversion depends on the development of the society, people communication psychological and way.
