Abstract
The research of sentence constructions in Modern Chinese is the ultimate goal of the Modern Chinese grammar study. In past, many grammar researchers named and classified different sentence constructions by various perspectives such as syntactical meaning, semantical meaning, pragmatical expressions, tone and fixed words. However, we think that it just does some generalization and synthesization of sentence constructions from one angle or one side. Based on the research of the formers, this paper describes four form features belonged to the sentence constructions and puts forward that there is mutually conditioned interaction force between the sentence construction and its sentence structural compositions; Meanwhile, the paper brings forward that the realization of sentence constructions’meanings have to go through the process of mutual integration between the semantical roles of sentence constructions and the verb argument components in sentences. In this integration process, the verb argument components will appear merged, cut, shade, contributed and so on. At last, combined with the Ambiguous Sentences in Modern Chinese, this paper describes briefly that the realization mechanism of sentence constructions’ meanings results from the fact that typical sentence constructions founded on diverse modules mutually connect,lap and then form sentence constructions with more rich meanings.
