Abstract

Sentence Patterns (句式) have always been important in Chinese grammar teaching, but they lack the corresponding formal representation that fits with information processing. Sentence pattern analysis in Chinese grammar teaching generally adopts Sentence Component Analysis (句子成分分析法), while the dichotomy idea of the Hierarchical Analysis of Phrase Structure (层次分析法) is dominant in the construction of mainstream Chinese Treebank. This situation impedes the exchange and resource sharing between these two application areas. This paper reviews the formalized schema of Sentence Pattern Structure which is subject to the Diagrammatic Syntactic Analysis (图解法) of Sentence-based Grammar (句本位语法), and expounds its hierarchical characteristics and application value in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
