Research on the Semantic Difference between "Zai" and "Zhe" from the TPM in Chinese

The time perception mode of Chinese speakers is as following:we ourselves stretch continuously as time goes by,and the Christian era is the reference of the stretch,which we take as the time axis.We define the time taken by speakers as speech time and the speech time is changing continuously.The adverb of time zai+vp indicates that in the time span taken by vp,the speech time or the time showed by the time-words in the sentence is stretching continuously so that the time adverb zai+vp has the nature of continuity.The phrase v+zhe only shows the continuity of the verb,and it has no relationship with the speech time so that this phrase has difficulties in accomplishing communication,which determines that it cannot be used as an independent sentence.The existential sentence formed by v+zhe and the subject of v+zhe,along with the sentence describing present views,can be used as an independent sentence because the context is related to the speech time.
