A Research On Verb-object Structure Of V-V Compound Words In Modern Chinese

Based on the modern Chinese verb-object structure of V-V compound words as the research object,we use the Generative Lexicon Theory to do research on this kind of compound words in the following three issues:firstly,the definition of the verb-object structure V-V compound words and dynamic element analysis;Secondly,the Constructional coercion of the verb-object structure of V-V compound words.Thirdly,the referential of the latter element the whole metonymic phenomenon of verb-object structure of V-V compound words.Through comparison and analysis,we distinguish the verb-object structure of V-V compound words from the formal verb compound verb and the continuous compound words and classify the V₁ and get the semantic characteristics of the verb object dynamic compound words.It is found that V₁ can be divide into two main categories——V₁ semantic bleaching and V₁ semantic specific.In the latter type,V₁can be divide into three types——the type of action,the type of activity and the type of state.Then according to the theory of Constructional coercion,whether V₂ is subjected to constitutive force analysis,probes into the various changes that occur in V₂ in the configuration and classifies its references.After study,V₂ also has two types——V₂ is not subjected to construction coercion and V₂ is subjected to construction coercion.And in the latter type,V₂ has two types——V₂ is a metonymic morpheme and V₂ is not a metonymic morpheme.Thirdly,we discuss the whole metonymy phenomenon of the movable compound words and study its cognitive motivation and it is considered that the saliency of the argument role can be related to the metonymy.
