Abstract

Scientists concluded that the language of the traditional language including pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. However, Hopper boldly put forward the point of view of grammar grammaticalization. \In Chinese, the earliest in the 13th century concept of \In the West, the the modern syntax pioneer Meillet 1912 proposed the grammaticalisation term. However, there are still some differences in the East and the West about the explanation of the syntax of. The grammaticalization re-emergence in the 1970s, the majority of the foreign research focused research to prove certain assumptions, domestic research has focused on the Chinese internal language phenomenon grammaticalization process to find illustrations from different languages. The grammaticalization process systems lack a particular grammatical phenomena home and abroad syntax description, but the lack of a comparison of the different languages ??in the same grammatical category syntax. However, carried out a comparative study of different languages ??exactly conducive to the grammaticalization theory of the rich and perfect. This paper lasted statement said the completion of most typical body structure V le and have V-ed structure of Chinese and English grammar process, so as to lay the foundation for later comparison and analysis. The basis of detailed historical, comparative study of these two structures. Syntax degree, fall off, the mechanism of competition, as well as word order of the twists and turns in the form of four comparative study to explore their respective structures behind promote its syntax Motives. And then seek out the British, Chinese, similarities and differences of the two structures. To achieve the motives and mechanisms to explore the the language facts behind the language because language development. This paper is divided into six chapters. The first chapter is the introduction of the full text syntax history as well as the development and research in China, described the purpose and importance of the most typical of English and Chinese to complete the structure. The second chapter is a literature review, an overview of this study, some of the theories and research, including: grammar background, definition, principles and main mechanism. And their predecessors for these two structures give Introduction and Commentary. Chapter in accordance with the dynasty Chinese V le structure syntax process. Chapter have V-ed structure set forth in accordance with the chronological development of English grammar process. The core part of the fifth chapter of the full specific comparative analysis of these two structures. In Chinese V le structure and English have V-ed structure from the simplest form of the initial development to later more mature form of the process, re-analysis and analogy in grammaticalization theory plays a crucial role. Comparative study of four aspects of grammar degree, tortuous forms shedding, the mechanism of competition, as well as word order. Chapter VI concluded that both exist in common and there are differences in the two structures the the Chinese V le and the English have V-ed syntax of the process, which also confirmed the commonality of language differences. By the same grammatical category of the British, Chinese completed comparative study of the process of the body grammaticalization grammaticalization process found that these two structures the same and different at turn behind the motivation to explore language development.
