Abstract

This study aims to use a large-scale corpus to explore the syntactic distributions of V+A bound verb-object constructions which consist of single verbs and single adjectival objects. We find that the distributions of V+A constructions in the corpus come in three varieties: 1.without followed by constituents; 2. followed by nominal constituents; 3.followed by non-nominal constituents. We arrive at the following conclusions that impact on the distributions: 1.the combination degree of V and A; 2.the properties of nominal constituents and the effect of V+A collocate with nominal elements. Then we discuss a special syntactical type such as “da-hei”“zhao-xin”. At last, we find and analyze some verb-object constructions which usually cannot exist independently.
