On the Verbs in Existential Construction

The syntactic structure of existential in Chinese is Loc+V+O/S.Any verb which enters the existential construction must meet the conditions,that either its A will delete,or its S will occupy the place of O.For transitive verbs,agentive verbs and resultatives with location or creation semantics,a few non-agentive verbs and resultatives from which certain positional relationships can derive,can all enter existential constructions.For intransitive verbs,verbs with the semantics of location change,spatial configuration,and manner of motion,and resutatives with the complement of directional verbs can also enter the existential constructions.Certain verbs implying state change,state formation or continuation or with non-animate S and other resultatives from which positional relationships can derive,and whose S can occupy the position of O,can also enter the existential constructions.
