The Construction Of "Lian+V+dou/Ye+VP" In Modern Chinese

In this thesis, on the basis of the "lian"(means even in English) expressions inmodern Chinese, taking a branch of "lian" expressions "and lian+V/VP" structuretype as the research object, dividing every member of the structure, and making adetailed and complete description to every concrete component. On this basis, usingone of the popular grammar theories of western linguistics, namely the generativegrammar to explain the structure type of syntactic generation problems in detail.On the component description, this thesis divides "lian+V+dou/ye+VP" into theinvariable component "lian","dou/ye", and variable components "V","VP"."lian","dou/ye" as the fixed mode of composition,"lian" as the auxiliary, playing therole of a tag focus, while the main effect of adverb "dou/ye" is to link with the focus.The Variable components "V" and "VP", repeating the same verbal component, wecall them first component and second component respectively. The verbalcompositions that go after V or VP are mainly the monosyllabic action verbs and thepsychological verbs, but also include the possibility of double syllable verbs andothers. On component material, both first component and second component can bethe SVO structures, while the first component is a more polished rod verb, the secondcomponent is mainly complex verb, besides the SVO structures, it can also be movedto fill structure, or acceptor marker word after the verb.On syntactic generation, this thesis involves the main linguistic theories: functioncategory and shift synthetic hypothesis, nominalization hypothesis, grafting theory,focus and focusing, topic, etc. Theoretically, any component can be focusing, and"lian... dou/ye..." is a way of focusing in vocabulary, thus, this thesis takes"lian+V+dou/ye+VP" as a focusing result of verb or a verb phrase of the generativemechanisms. After the verb is focused, because of the object composition in homeposition, it requires a shift focused verb to retained in position, therefore, it exits therepetition of verb in the first component V and the second component VP. Due to expression need of the speaker, the second component of the object component can bea subject or be omitted, which does not affect the expressing effect of the wholesentence. After the verb phrase is focus, the object is jointly be focused, in homeposition there is no longer an object, so the verbs in the shift position, whether beretained or omitted, having the freedom on the choice, and can be discussed in points.Finally, by using the theory of cognitive linguistics in the order of magnitude, thisthesis explains the positive and negative selection problem.
