A Syntactic And Semantic Analysis Of Chinese Structure "S+V₁O+V₂ De（得）C" Based On The Principle Of Cognitive Reference Point

Chinese verb-repeating sentence structure,“S+V₁O+V₂ de（得）C”,is a common expression,which has attracted much attention in the field of linguistics.The majority of researches on Chinese verb-repeating sentence are based on the theory of syntactic generation,that is,through The Minimalist Program proposed by Chomsky（1995）,separating the syntax and semantics,to study the generation and transformation of sentence structure of verb-repeating sentence.Therefore,this dissertation is based on the Principle of Cognitive Reference Point to study the syntax and semantics of verb-repeating sentence and it will focus on the analysis of the composition relationships highlighted by verbs“V₁”and“V₂”and the connection function of two verbs,which verified that the Principle of Cognitive Reference Point is one of the most basic cognitive abilities of human beings,and this expression of sentence structure is also a kind of production of cognitive activity in the human brain.The study found that the structure“S+V₁O+V₂ de（得）C”is formed by two parts,that is,“（S）+V₁O”and“V₂ de（得）C”,and the connection of this structure is the verb repeating of“V₁”.The verb“V₁”highlights the subject-verb-object relation of“S”and“O”,“V₂”highlights the degree relation of“S+V₁O”and“C”;semantically,different reference points selected by cognitive subjects lead to different semantic directions,thus forming different expressions of the same event.The semantics of its constructions are full of diversity and fuzziness features.The results showed that the cognitive reference point principle can be applied not only to the analysis of component relations and component functions of verb-repeating sentence,but also to the generation of complements in verb-repeating sentence and the analysis of the relations between different complements in the same cognitive domain.Hence,the expression of complement of verb-repeating sentence depends on the cognitive mechanisms such as reference point,mental path and target,so that the information expressed by“C”can be well consistent with the inner cognitive world.To a certain extent,the study of this dissertation not only broads the syntactic and semantic research of verb-repeating sentence,but also provides a new path and paradigm for latter study of relevant Chinese structure.
