A Study On The Predicate-complement Stricter Of Xing Shi Yan

As a special kind of Chinese grammar, predicate-complement structure hasdeserved all the concern of the whole academia. It enriches the expressions of Chineselanguage and promotes the development of other grammars in Chinese, as it stillremains a heated but difficulty issue in academic circles. The scholars both at home andabroad have done in-depth researches in its creation, development, classification andsignificance, with many books and thematic researches published. This thesis focuseson the verb-complement structure of Xing Shi Yan in the method of description andcomparison of statistical data. At length, the major characteristics and fundamentalpatterns of the structures are discussed to analyze developing trends during thetransition period from the modern times to the contemporary society.This thesis is divided into six parts. The first part is the introduction, which focuseson the research status of the predicate-complement structure. At the same time itintroduces the general contents of Xing Shi Yan.The next following chapters are the main body of the thesis. The author describesand analyses four different predicate-complement structures, that is,“resultativecomplement”,“directional complement”,“potentional complement” and “descriptivecomplement” from three aspects, the organization forms, semantic features andpragmatic features are included. In the analysis, the problems that whether thesestructures can take an object, where the location of the object is, what the object is and,what the semantic orientation the specific grammatical meaning are are elaborated.From the perspective of semantic analysis of this structure, the author makes a simpleresearch on the predicate-complement structure based on the theory of conceptintegration combined with Shi Yuzhi’s theory.In the last chapter, the author summarizes disparate predicate-complementstructures in two aspects of form and semantics and then compares them with those inother four works.
