The study of verbs and verbal structures is a hot topic in modern Chinese grammar research. This book discusses two classification systems of verbs: the Time-Quantity System and the Autonomous-Non-Autonomous System, and discusses semantic and grammatical categories such as duration/non-duration, autonomous/non-autonomous, and degree. It describes verbal structures such as verb-object, double-object, and verb-complement. This book provides a detailed analysis of various ambiguous phenomena related to verbs and explains the semantic features of verbs from several aspects. In terms of analytical methods and depth of exploration, this book is a representative and important achievement in modern Chinese verb research in the 1980s. This book can be used as a reference for Chinese department undergraduates, postgraduates, university and high school Chinese teachers, teachers engaged in teaching Chinese to foreigners and ethnic minorities, and international students in China. Computer workers engaged in natural language understanding and processing can also use it as a research reference.
