Abstract

The verb zheng in northeast Chinese dialect is a generalized verb which can take various object and complement.Through meaning component-mode analyzing toward generalized verb zheng,this thesis focuses on the differences between generalized verb and polysemous verb,and then points out that the various meanings of verb zheng result from the coercion process of the constructions.In this mind,the theory of Construction Grammar should be taken as a better way to analyze the verb zheng and other generalized verbs in Chinese.
