The Guest Of Honor Can Exchanging Sentences Study

That subject and object can exchange with each other and the basic meaning is not changed is a very particular grammar phenomenon in modern Chinese. On the base of the existent researching, this paper categorizes and describes this phenomenon, discusses the factors and reasons of restricting the exchanging of subject and object and analyzes its pragmatic selection. The main contents include:l.Six main categories are worked out basis of verb traits and features of the sentence meaning: supplying type, adherence type, existence type, equivalence type, blending type, facing to face type and there are some small categories. The syntactic and semantic features are described simply.2.From the two levels of syntax and semantics there are many factors restricting the exchanging of subject and object, such as the sentence constituent with modifier or not, the long-short and type of modifier, semantic features and so on .3.There are mainly three reasons of the exchanging of subject and object :the agent-patient relationship of subject and object is vague, the features of semantic roles are not very typical; semantic expression emphasizes relational meaning and state meaning; the balanced symmetry of cognition refers a cognitive foundation to the exchanging of subject and object.4.The difference of topic and focus, the cohesion and coherence of text, the restriction of ideational function and the need of special expression are the main factors effecting the pragmatic selection of this sentence mode.
