ABSTRACT

On the basis of previous research, this paper divided “Ba” construction into 13 subcategories according to strict logic programs, which are having verbs or not, verbs being idioms or not, having several verbs or not, a single verb having no additional ingredients in front of and behind itself or not, and so on.The 13 subcategories are无动式、熟语式、复谓式、唯动式、状动式、动得式、动结式、动趋式、动副式、动介式、动宾式、动量式、动体式. As for naming the 13 subcategories, this paper haven’t adopted using Arabic numerals like 1, 2, 3 as Beijing Language Institute Sentence Type Research Group (1989) and Lv Wenhua (1994)did, and formula “v p = v r” as Cui Xiliang (1995) did, and codes like Ⅰa、Ⅰb as Xiao Xiqiang etc. (2009) did. We mainly followed Fan Xiao (2001). The 13 categories of “Ba” construction are fewer than Lv Wenhua (1994), more than Beijing Language Institute Sentence Type Research Group (1989), Cui Xiliang (1995), Fan Xiao(2001), Xiao Xiqiang etc.(2009). 9 out of the 13 categories have the same names as Fan Xiao (2001). Except adding 无动式、熟语式、复谓式,we changed Fan Xiao(2001)‘光杆动词把字句’(bare-verb “Ba” construction)into ‘唯动式把字句’(one-verb-predicate “Ba” construction )to make the name cleaner and be consistent with the others on the syllable to achieve a consistent effect. The references of “Ba” construction naming by Arabic numerals or Roman alphabet are difficult to memory, and by a formula are not simple enough. The best choice of naming “Ba” construction is using a Chinese phrase, which can have a brief form,and a clear reference.We would like to make such a classification and naming, mainly for the convenience of analysis of corpora and reading and writing. Our classification follows the strict logical principles, and the standards are very clear. According to our steps, any “Ba” construction appearing in a corpus can be easily classified into a proper subcategory.
