Abstract
Many modern Chinese words inherited from the classical Chinese. Therefore, vocabularies used in written Chinese are different from those used in modern Chinese. In written Chinese, an embedded compounding monosyllabic morpheme (hereafter abbreviated as ECMM) has its own prosodic structure and stylistic constraints, the details of which can be further explored. The article discusses the function of EMCC in the lexical system and proposes the corresponding teaching methods based on the characteristic of EMCC and the teaching experience.
