Abstract

The predicate-only lexical items are subsidiary in Chinese lexicon in terms of parts of speech. From some relatively closed corpus, we choose and classify such lexical items out of Verb Group, Adjective Group and Descriptive Word Group. We also classify the adhesive verbs and conclude that the adhesion to other syntactic components is the main reason why these verbs function only as the predicate in a sentence.
