The current Lexicalization research seldom takes into account the influence of the specific syntactic environment of the Chinese Contracted Sentences on the Lexicalization of some words.This study takes the syntactic environment of the Chinese Contracted Sentences as the research object,examines the Lexicalization phenomena that occur in this specific syntactic environment,and what common characteristics these Lexicalization phenomena show,and discusses the motivation and mechanism of these Lexicalization phenomena in the context of the Chinese Contracted Sentences.In this paper,the Lexicalization in the context of the Chinese Contracted Sentences is divided into two categories: the Lexicalization of phrases and the Lexicalization of cross-layer structures.The Lexicalization of phrases includes the Lexicalization of pre-contraction(for example: zhijin,ranhou)and Lexicalization of post-contraction(for example: suanle,haole),while the Lexicalization of cross-layer structure can be divided into four categories: the Lexicalization of "contraction + contraction antecedent"(for example: yidong,yaobu),the Lexicalization of "contraction antecedent + contraction"(for example: fouze,yin'er),the Lexicalization of "contraction + post-contraction"(for example: jiushi,yehao)and the Lexicalization of "contraction + contraction"(for example: yizai).Further by observing and describing these Lexicalization phenomena that occur in the context of the Chinese Contracted sentences,compact marks participate in the process of Lexicalization at high frequency,and are mainly adverbial ones.At the same time,the results of Lexicalization are mainly function words,which are mainly shown as mood auxiliaries,conjunctions and adverbs.This paper analyzes the causes and mechanisms of Lexicalization in the context of the Chinese Contracted sentences,including pragmatic motivation,high-frequency use motivation,semantic transformation motivation,prosodic mechanism,chunking psychological mechanism and reanalysis mechanism.Through the combination of synchronic and diachronic,personality and generality,this study uses the relevant theory and knowledge of Lexicalization to describe the Lexicalization phenomenon in the context of the Chinese Contracted Sentences,so as to provide new reference materials for the interactive study of Chinese Lexicalization and the Chinese Contracted.
