So the academic achievementsare limited and there is almost no systematic research about the staticsentence.Thus,the"concept of static and dynamic"is a new perspective and the analysis ofsentence with such an idea is a brave attempt.It has a great significance on the theory andpractice of Chinese grammar.The dissertation selects the medieval literature as the main corpus. On one hand,through the corpus retrieval and extensive investigations, this dissertation describes andanalyzes the static sentence with Three-dimensional Grammatical Theory, in order topresent the whole picture of the static sentence of medieval Chinese.
