ABSTRACT

This article is based on the theory of construction grammar and conducts a detailed study on the Subject-predicate predicate construction of patient topic in Chinese. The Subject-predicate predicate construction of patient topic refers to a form-function pairing with the patient at the beginning of the sentence as the topic, and the agent and action as the comment. The form is “Tpatient+C (C=Sagent+VP)”, and the construction meaning is “to explain the state or result of the subject by the action applied by the agent”. Based on the theory of construction grammar, this article regards the Subject-predicate predicate construction of patient topic as a gestalt, and explores the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic features of the Subject-predicate predicate construction of patient topic as a whole. From a cognitive perspective, it provides a cognitive understanding of the source of meaning, conceptual schema fitting, and the formation motivation of the construction. In the hope of gaining a new understanding of the Subject-predicate predicate construction of patient topic in this article.
