Abstract

This paper argues for the necessity of study on the structure of “V” in “进行[jin4xing2]+V” based on the analysis of the previous research, and gives a full description and analysis of it based on the large-scale corpus. In the choice of verb of predicate-object structure, only verbs that have external object in semantic are allowed to enter “进行[jin4xing2]+V” structure. In the syllable, only double-syllable or tri-syllable verbs can be the verb object of “进行[jin4xing2]”, and those tri-syllable verbs are mainly composed in additional morphology, with affixes like”化[hua4]、热[re4]、再[zai4]”and so on.
