Abstract

Compound directional verbs as a special , closed class , its syntactic structure is flexible , complex grammatical meaning and form of neat . The composite word inversely symmetrical distribution tends verb [ direction] sememe way to get , we can be divided into word objectively reverse and reverse word two categories subjective . On the basis of statistical analysis of the nearly two million - word corpus , we found that there are significant asymmetries within each set of reverse symmetry word , semantics and pragmatics frequency . Starting from the description of this asymmetry , then try to explain why , and to ultimately summed up with the principle of universality . This article includes a three-part introduction, body , conclusion . The first chapter is an introduction , mainly on the research background , the topics of the reason , as well as a description of the selected corpus . The main part of the second to the fourth chapter . Chapter II first study involved in composite tend verbs, reverse words , concepts such as symmetry and asymmetry are defined , and based on objective the Reverse and subjective reverse of the reverse word compound directional verb the views of the two cases . Chapter combined corpus data , we grouped detailed description of the composite trend the verb in reverse word on the frequency of the semantics and pragmatics of symmetric and asymmetric situation , starting from these asymmetries exist objectively and try to guide our Chinese as a foreign language teaching practice . Chapter in the description of the basis , first from a cognitive perspective , the specific reasons to explore asymmetric been showing on the the composite tends verb in reverse word . Explained the reasons for each group of words in each asymmetric senses , we attempt to summarize some common law , and the hope to deepen composite tends verb , and the whole trend of the verb system of understanding . The last part is the conclusion , in the summary of the full-text content , we propose some shortcomings of the study , as well as further research direction .
