"You" is one of the oldest and very active member in Chinese vocabulary. The research about sentences which contained "You" are also very popular."Degree adverb+You+NP" is a special structure in the the sentences contained "You" and this paper is mainly research that. I analyzed the syntax distribution and development in Modern Chinese.Through analysis, we found that "adverb+have+NP " mainly used as a sentence in modern Chinese, but from the Song Dynasty, the sentence of "adverb+have+NP " had become a fixed grammatical structure, which acted as a whole object, attributive, complement and other components of a sentence. The independence of "adverb+have+NP was greatly weaken.Semantically, when the NP is a non-quantified structure(NP1), the "You+NP" indicates the presence and possessive; when the NP is a quantitative structure (NP2), the "have+NP " indicates the description. The structure of "numeral+classifier+noun" appeared in the non-quantified structure was from the Song Dynasty, increased in the Ming and Qing Dynasty, many of which were vagueness,and this prompted the grammaticalization of "You+NP1".This paper contains four parts:The first chapter mainly introduce the topics of purpose, significance, research situation and research methods. The second chapter overview the overall situation of "Degree Adverb+have+NP " in Modern Chinese and examine the use of the degree adverbs and nouns. The third chapter mainly analyze and describe the six categories of the grammatical structure of "Degree Adverb+have+NP ". The fourth chapter mainly analyze the semantics of "Degree Adverb+have+NP ". According to the type of NP,"have+NP " can be divided into two categories:"You+NP1" and "You+NP2". Meanwhile, we studied the motivation and the possibility of the combination between degree adverb and "have+NP ". The last chapter is the conclusion, which summarized the main viewpoints and insufficiencies in my paper.
