This paper studies the construction grammaticalization of Chinese extreme semantic from the perspective of constructions. This paper distinguishes three concepts of grammaticalization of Syntax elements、Grammaticalization of constructions and construction grammaticalization. Grammaticalization of Syntax elements is traditional study of grammaticalization; Grammaticalization of constructions is the change of a certain construction which includes the change of form and semantic. But the core semantic keeps the same after change. Construction grammaticalization refers to that a certain construction takes shape new form and semantic through Grammaticalization of constructions, and its grammaticalization continues in the stage when the new form and semantic keep unchanged. Construction grammaticalization epitomizeds expansion effect. In this paper, Construction grammaticalization of13Chinese extreme semantics constructions are studied, focusing on the expansion of extreme object、extreme nature and integration model. First of all, this paper distinguishes Chinese extreme semantics constructions on the basis of the theoretical framework of the subject—the background which belongs to the category of cognitive linguistics, and proposes the concept of class—constructions, so that the study for construction grammaticalization turnes into the system. Second, this paper puts forword the theory of empirical model and model integration in the study of construction grammaticalization of Chinese extreme semantics. This paper argues that constructions are curing mode of universal human experience patterns in the language. This theory explains the expansion effect of the construction grammaticalization of Chinese extreme semantics very well whose analysis and research basing on class—constructions. In the process of construction grammaticalization, subjectivization also occurs. The construction subjectivization of Chinese extreme semantics reflects intensively speaker’s degree of participation including fact participation、sensibility participation and rationality participation. The construction grammaticalization and subjectivization of Chinese extreme semantic are inseparable. This paper also summarizes homogeneity and heterogeneity of construction grammaticalization. Finally, the subjectivity of the constructions of Chinese extreme semantics is analyzed which including three aspects:speaker’s degree of participation、semantic bias and pragmatic transfer. Semantic bias is the emphasis of the research on subjectivity including four aspects:semantic color syllables collocation high frequency co—occurrence and model integration. There are four factors which affect semantics bias:grammaticalization theoretical basis of constructions and constructions form,etc. This paper analyzes the subjectivity of13constructions of Chinese extreme semanticsm, and sums up a subjectivity sequence. This is the first application of the theory of integration model to study construction grammaticalization. It is a new practice and it is also the emphasis in the study of this paper.
