The use of so-called causative verb is referred to the subject not implementing the action that the predict expresses, but making the object implement the action. It has two types:The use of causative intransitive verb and the use of causative transitive verb. Mr. Wang Ning said:" In the Chinese of pre-Qin period, for large number of monosyllabic words, the constraints of lexical meanings to words'grammatical functions and sentence structure models are more direct and stronger. Words' grammatical functions and their existing structure models are controlled by their lexical meanings. Many grammatical differences, can find the most fundamental reasons from the difference of word meanings' characteristics. " This article will deeply analyze the use of the two types of verb in different linguistic environment.In ancient Chinese, the use of causative verb means" how subject makes object do", that is in causative sentences, action is not issued by the subject, but subject makes object issue, so object is the implementation of the action. Causative sentences must have objects theoretically, and sometimes objects may disappear, but can be added up. In ancient times, verbs, nouns and adjectives are often unity. Thus we infer that in ancient times, there is no difference between the classification of the words in Chinese. But when the character's creation developed into a certain period, for the concept of the word in the record, we can find difference between the verbs and nouns. Make use of the linguistic method was first discovered by Majianzhong. In<Ma Shi Wen Tong>, the author took the " university" for an example and he said "The university should make its student be in high moral". MA explained that the first "Ming" is a adjective but used as a verb, meaning "the virtue already made light has become even more obvious. " Subsequently, Chen Chengze further clearly defined the "actuator" terminology" in National Grammar grassroots". Here the making use of law We are talking about, does not include the situation where a clear emergence of the word "make". The so-called "causative" "is" to object "act". In a General description of sentence, the action expressed by the verb is issued by the subject, the subject is the implementation of those actions, and the object is the bearer of action; but in a causative sentence, the action is not issued by the subject, but issued by the object, and the object is the action of the perpetrators.
