This article mainly studies the discrimination of"dou(都)"and"ye(也)"in the four constructions, which include the"lian(连)"constructions, the nonspecific constructions, the minimum constructions and the copy verb constructions. Applying for construction theory, functional grammar and grammaticalization, We attempt to find out their mechanisms of differentiation and similar in synchronic study.The first chapter research the discrimination of the"lian(连)"constructions. In sentence patterns, there are mainly several types in syntactic construction: coordination and combination, insertion and complementation, inclusion and comparison. The two constructions mainly differ in some aspects: highlight feature and highlight comparison , emphasis modality and emphasis cause, stress on inclusion and stress on affinity, focus on intangibility and focus on content, special collocation and common collocation, semantic hierarchy and pragmatic hierarchy.The second chapter research the discrimination of the nonspecific constructions. In semantics generation,the"ye(也)"negative constructions come from pragma inference, then the"dou(都)"negative constructions come from semantics combination. In modality, the"ye(也)"positive constructions express dynamic modality,then the"dou(都)"positive constructions express epistemic modality. In angle of subjectivity and subjectivity, the"ye(也)"constructions mainly use in subjective sentences, and the"dou(都)"constructions mainly use in objective sentences.The third chapter research the discrimination of the minimum constructions. There are three differences as follow: non-referential and referential, total content negative and all qualitative negative, polymerization minimum and comparison minimum. Otherwise, they have several pragmatic tendencies in the aspects of stylistic distribution, verb type and topic-role.The fourth chapter research the discrimination of the copy verb constructions .In the process of grammaticalization, "V Ye V (P)" has dual semantic relations: "the similar results of actions,"and "emphasis." Which can interchange by the "V Dou V (P)"only expresses the meaning of emphasis. The "Dou" is completely turn into a commentary adverb and the meaning of construction is simple and uniform, only expresses emphasis in the subjective maximal quantity. The two constructions mainly differ in some aspects: state and dynamics; degree of nature and modality; subjective maximal quantity and subjective-based quantity;background information and prospect information.The fifth chapter summarized the conclusions from each chapter. By using statistical methods, try to analyses the using frequency from the view of qualitative determination and quantitative determination. We attempt to structure the image schema and explain the reasons of difference from the angle of cognition processing, then sum up their identifiable meanings and identifiable sequence.The conclusion part listed seven aspects of difference. In our view points, the"ye(也)"constructions and the"dou(都)"constructions were stem from different grammatical structures and gradually became similar. Following grammaticalization of the four constructions ,the construction's meaning are more and more important and the meaning of the part has already been fade. But the construction's meaning have relationship with the meaning of the part . The main adverb can be activate in suitable context.
