This paper classifies and describes based on different standards throughmulti-perspective observation and descirption of modern Chinese subject zeroanaphora clauses. It also summarizes its conclusions in the final part. Generallyspeaking, this paper can be divided into six chapters.The first chapter is the introduction patr. This part expounds the research topicsignificance, research object and content, theoretical basis and research methods,corpus sources and relevant research status quo of the research object in this paper.The second chapter classifies and describes modern Chinese subject zeroanaphora clauses, dividing them into two kinds, namely the anaphora type and thenon-anaphora type. This paper further divides the anaphora type modern Chinesesubject zero anaphora clauses, and concludes and describes the anaphora type modernChinese subject zero anaphora clauses according to different standards. In theperspective of syntactic generation, subject zero anaphora clauses are classified intothe framework of the non-anaphora subject clauses, which are divided into congenitaland acquired subject zero anaphora clauses.The third chapter classifies and descirbes the characteirstics of the verb structurepart of the anaphora type modern Chinese subject zero anaphora clauses, andconducts statistical and comparative analysis of the corpus to lay the foundation for itssummarization. Through multi-perspective analysis, this paper analyzes the reason forwhich the anaphora type modern Chinese subject zero anaphora clauses are generated.The forth chapter analyzes the structural characteirstics of non-anaphora typemodern Chinese subject zero anaphora clauses. Compared with anaphora type modernChinese subject zero anaphora clauses, non-anaphora type modern Chinese subjectzero anaphora clauses’ subject part adopts zero encoding and their verb part ischaracterized by a simple structure. There are some internal differences existing in the two kinds of modern Chinese subject zero anaphora clauses. First, their compositionstructure complexity is different; secondly,the meaning type of clauses is different.The fitfh chapter constructs text framework from two perspectives,namelymeaning and form, trying to explain the generation of modern Chinese subject zeroanaphora clauses. This paper points out the decomposition effect of text frameworkon co-referred subjects and compulsory effect of the use of zero anaphora.The sixth chapter is the conclusion part In this part, the paper summarizes themain viewpoints put forward in the previous parts and also points out the limitationsof this paper.
