Analysis of the Grammar-pragmatics Interaction of Generative Mechanism of “A+Yixia” in Chinese
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v3i1.245
Abstract
Adjectives are one of the most important parts of speech in most natural languages. Chinese adjectives are a very complex and common linguistic phenomenon in practical use, so they have always been the focus of attention and research by many scholars. On the basis of previous studies, this paper aims to study the complex phenomena of “A+Yixia” from the perspective of grammar-pragmatics interaction, especially to explain its generating mechanism.
Keywords
Chinese adjectives; grammar-pragmatic interaction; adjective collocations
