The author once discussed structures like ' yi pingmi da(一平米大,as big as a square meter)',i.e.the structure of 'numeral-classifier-noun structure+adjective',in which the classifiers are those typically used for measurement like 'pingmi(平米,square meter)'. The paper discusses this structure from another angle,in which the classifiers are nouns used as measurement temporarily,just like 'fangjian(房间,a room)' in 'yige fangjiang da (一个房间大,as big as a room)'.In both cases,'name(那么)' can be used before 'da (大)',which means that words like 'da(大)','gao(高)','kuan(宽)',etc.are not nouns but adjectives.Based on the adjectives denoting measurement,the paper discusses the structure of 'numeral-classifier-noun structure+adjective' from different perspectives.

In Shaoyang urban dialect, sentences with "qing(请)" are usually used as the marked passive sentences whose typical pattern is "NP1+qing+NP2+VP2". Such a constitution is charac- teristic of two outstanding aspects: the complexity of VP2 and the obligatoriness of NP2. Passive sen- tences with "qing" have two basic pragmatic functions: 1)emotional function, which expresses the speakers’subjective emotion and unexpected feeling;2)positioning function, which is used by the speaker to position the patient as a victim role to imply the patient's inability to control their behavior. Like the formation of passive category in many other languages, passivity of "qing" in Shaoyang urban dialect has developed from causativity, namely requests〉causativity〉unwilling permission〉passivi- ty.

Firstly, the paper analyzes the Fanqie(a kind of ancient Chinese phonetic notation) of Quyun Lizhu(曲韵骊珠), an important opera rhyme dictionary, and summarizes it in five characteris- tics. It studies the initial, final and tonal systems and addresses some related problems. It also recon- structs its phonetic system. Finally, the author compares the southern pronunciation and northern pronunciation, which results in discoveries off the differences between them. Although the phonology of this rhyme dictionary is complex, but its components do reflect the phonetic facts of that time.

Only a small portion of adverbs grammaticalize from nouns. This paper takes Dali(大力) and Sili(死力) as examples, and discusses a particular pattern for nouns to bleach into adverbs. We argue that the nominal Dali(大力) and Sili(死力) were frequently used as adverbials, and had subsequently acquired syntactic and semantic features of adverbs. They grammaticalized into adverbs in late Qing(清) Dynasty and Ming(明) Dynasty respectively. Although this pattern of grammaticalization is universally observed, there are still other patterns for nouns to bleach into adverbs.
