AB - This paper aims to systematically grasp the diverse meanings of the Complex Directional Complements ‘guolai(過來)/guoqu(過去)’. To achieve this, we categorize and analyze various types of ‘V+guolai(過來)/guoqu(過去)’ featuring non-motional high-frequency verbs into three main Macro Event types based on Talmy(2000)’s theory: the Motion Event, the Event of Realization, and the Event of State Change. In the process, we observe an interactive relationship between the passage path meaning of ‘guo(過)’ and the deictic components ‘lai(來)/qu(去)’, leading to a pattern of progressive subjectification and development. As ‘guo(過)’ is abstracted from a concrete spatial path to a passage path meaning in the temporal and qualitative domain, ‘lai(來)/qu(去)’ evolve from simple proximity/distance relative to the speaker to meanings reflecting the speaker’s subjective perceptions, such as desire/undesire and affirmation/negation. Such highly abstract meanings of ‘guolai(過來)/guoqu(過去)’ often lack direct counterparts in Korean or English, demonstrating a unique linguistic typological characteristic of Chinese while highlighting the difficulty for learners in acquiring these expressions. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to enhance learners’ usage ability of ‘guolai(過來)/guoqu(過去)’ by presenting it as a relevant PBL(Problem-Based Learning) ‘problem’ for learners to solve and internalize through self-directed learning.
