On Delexicalization Features of Light Verbs in Mandarin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delexicalization is the tendency of meaning, reflecting the structural feature of light verbs. It emerges from collocation usages of semantic sharing. Based on the corpus and exemplified with “ ” and “ ”, the current paper addresses the delexicalizing features of Chinese light verbs, while proposing a lexicographic approach concerning the conventionality of light verb construction and endeavoring to apply it to the learning of foreign languages.

L1 Transfer in L2 Acquisition of the There-Insertion Construction by Mandarin EFL Learners
This study examined the role of the native language (L1) transfer in a non-native language (L2) acquisition of the there-insertion construction at the syntax-semantics interface. Specifically, the study investigated if Mandarin EFL learners would make overgeneralization errors in the situation where an L1 argument structure constitutes a superset of its L2 counterpart. Verbs of existence and ap...
متن کاملTransitivity in Light Verb Variations in Mandarin Chinese - A Comparable Corpus-based Statistical Approach
This paper adopts a comparable corpus-based approach to light verb variations in two varieties of Mandarin Chinese and proposes a transitivity (Hopper and Thompson 1980) based theoretical account. Light verbs are highly grammaticalized and lack strong collocation restrictions; hence it has been a challenge to empirical accounts. It is even more challenging to consider their variations between d...
متن کاملThe Ordering of Mandarin Chinese Light Verbs

This study argues that the order of the light verbs is closely associated to two kinds of information that the verbs specify, i.e. aspectua...
متن کاملAnnotation and Classification of Light Verbs and Light Verb Variations in Mandarin Chinese
Light verbs pose an a challenge in linguistics because of its syntactic and semantic versatility and its unique distribution different from regular verbs with higher semantic content and selectional resrictions. Due to its light grammatical content, earlier natural language processing studies typically put light verbs in a stop word list and ignore them. Recently, however, classification and id...
متن کاملMandarin Intransitive Reflexive Verbs and the Unaccusative Hypothesis (Mandarin Intransitive Reflexive Verbs)
