The concept of "construction" posited by Goldberg covers all the levels of the grammatical hierarchy in traditional grammar,ranging from morphemes to sentence patterns,as can be seen from her definition,exemplification and explanations.

This paper elaborates on construction and construction grammar,with Chinese as example.

In this mind,the theory of Construction Grammar should be taken as a better way to analyze the verb zheng and other generalized .

Given this situation, the paper will draw on the theory of the construction grammar and three plane theory of Chinese grammar, pay attention to the interaction between the overall structure and nouns,and from syntax, semantics and pragmatics, research on the relation between Degree adverbs and nouns comprehensi.

Lexically fixed forms like morphemes,words,idioms are substantive constructions,while partially lexically filled and fully abstract phrasal patterns are schematic constructions.
