This paper focus on the relationships between noun’s animacy and Chinese structure which composed by noun and verb.The introduction mainly introducts fomer research of the animacy of noun,Chinese structure which composed by noun and verb,and the relations between them.Besides,this chapter points out the anvantages and disadvantags of fomer research.Introduction also established the objects we will study and methods we will use in this article.The first chapter analyses and sumerises former rank order of animacy,which we based on to establish a new rank order of animacy that more dependable and accurate.What’s more, we simplified the new rank order of animacy in the premise of having no influences to our conclusion.The second chapter focus on the structural relationships of four Chinese structures,like Vd/s+Nd/s, and the animancy of nouns in these structure. Then, to inspect if higher animacy leads to higher possibility that the structure will be verb-object structure. On the contrary, lower animancy leads to higher possibility that the structure will be biased-positive formation.The third chapter focus on the structural relationships of four Chinese structures,like Nd/s+Vd/s, and the animancy of nouns in these structure. Then, to inspect if higher animacy leads to higher possibility that the structure will be verb-object structure. Onthe contrary, lower animancy leads to higher possibility that the structure will be biased-positive formation.In the forth chapter, we find some difference between nouns’ anmacy in different structure by comparing Nd/s+Vd/s structures and explore some reasons tentatively.In the fifth chapter, we conclude the issues which involved in the paper but cannot be soved and put foward related assumes and futhur research orientations.
