The Syntactic Classification of Object Sharing Construction in Mandarin Chinese from a Generative Point of View;

The lexicalization of verb-object construction is the result of the autonomy of verb or object weakening.

The thesis mainly studies and explores the evolution conditions of verb-object constructions consisting of the above verbs from the perspectives of the verb-object framework,the components of objects and the semantic types of objects,and also conducts a case study on diachronic conditions of the ability of the verb "zuo(坐)"to carry a location objects.

Traditional grammar books claimed that verb-object construction cannot serve as transitive verbs, and cannot hold outer object.

Since in ancient Chinese, there are plenty of situations in which the adjectives are used as verbs, part of the side-centre structures seem to be the same as the verb-object structures.

Due to the mono-disyllabic selection of Chinese words,the verb-object structure in Chinese has four possible forms:(1+1),(1+2),(2+2) and(2+1),of which(2+1) is ungrammatical.

On this situation, one complicated Chinese V-O structure like“吃(eat)+食堂(restaurant)”, whose object is not the typical recipient object but various objects such as locative object, instrumental object, resultant object , and so on, without any marking, is attracting the interests of them.
