"Xiang / Shuo X Jiu X"form is a common used expression in modern spoken Chinese . Scholars studied a little on this issue in the past . Based on the two structures as the main study in this paper , we discuss the appearance rule and application feature of the structure . For the need of research ,"x"is classified by independent verb , non-independent verb and adjective . Then from the angle , sort and analyze such structure . Through concluding and summarizing numerous language materials , the paper closely combines the two elements of language of form and meaning . Form the aspects of syntax , semantic and pragmatic , analyze the details of two structures and compare them . There are some common points in syntactic feature , semantic relation , usage character and so on . The two structures can serve as many kinds of syntax composition . Among them , the syntax composition of clause and predicate are relatively widespread ."Xiang / Shuo X Jiu X"is not a simple abbreviated phrase . It's a kind of special fixed form . The internal form express many kinds of semantic relationship , such as hypothetical relation , coherent relation , conditional relation and so on .The"X"from"Xiang X Jiu X"concentrates on independent verb , and the form of"Xiang X1 Jiu X1"occupies the majority . However , the usage scope of"Shuo X Jiu X"is relatively extensive , and it can make up"Shuo X1 Jiu X1","Shuo X 2Jiu X2","Shuo X3 Jiu X3". Between the structures of"Shuo X 2Jiu X2"and"Shuo X3 Jiu X3", they are not simple abbreviated phrases ,they are special fixed forms . Some show the movement or action is quick or fast , some indicate the development process is rapid , some express speaker's attitude . They refer to"shuo"the degree of gramaticalization . From the aspects of cognitive and grammar of perspective , explain that"shuo"is in the constant mitigating process from verb of meaning speech to symbol word of expressing the wishes. In the paper ,"shuo"is confined to a word which auxiliaries quality is extremely weak in term of Prototype Theory .As both express speaker's idea , desire and plan , the two forms can substitute each other and semantic almost keep the same . Of course , it depends on language circumstance . However , there are some differences ."Shuo X 2/ X3 Jiu X2 / X 3"can not be replaced by"Xiang X Jiu X". The subject of the sentence which contain the form of"Xiang X Jiu X"tends to person or personification . However , the subject of the sentence which contain the form of"Shuo X Jiu X"is relatively extensively . The subject may be time , place , plant , animal , abstract things , and so on .Such structures show abundant oral coloring . So usually it elides some elements and remain pivotal words to pop out emphases . In manner of condensed expression , it shows creativity of language . The apparently simple form implies rich and colorful language . It may express the feeling of unbosoming oneself , torelance , obedience , or the mood of relaxation , happiness , hesitation . In a word , it can shows plenty emotion and attitude , and it is an open structure.Moreover , drawing inspiration from"Xiang / Shuo X Jiu X", we discusses all other similar structures which can enter the form . Such as"Ai X Jiu X","Yuan X Jiu X","Gai X Jiu X","Yao X Jiu X","Neng X Jiu X","Hui X Jiu X","Jiao X Jiu X"and so on . There are common features in both grammar function and semantic expression during these forms . Accordingly , these forms are established a special category , and analyze their common rule . Such forms manifest the speaker's individual desire , emotion and attitude . They are one of means which express the language subjectivity .
