In spoken Chinese,'suoyi(所以)'is used as a conjunction of result or a discourse marker.The usage of'suoyi(所以)'is complex in spoken Chinese,which documents the multiple grammatical,textual,interactional roles in conversation.This paper also discusses the distribution of'suoyi(所以)'in spoken and written Chinese.We found the difference in frequency of'suoyi(所以)'in this two genres is very significant,and we maintain that its semantic reduction and function expansion in spoken Chinese is closely related to its highfrequency of use.

The paper studies the syntactic structure of the phrase composed of an estimating or measuring word and an antonymous adjective pair such as zhimali daxiao （ as tiny as a sesame grain）, in which zhimali （sesame grain） is used to estimate or measure something that is tiny while daxiao is the combination of two antonymous adjectives. It is generally considered that the antonymous adjective pairs used in such structures are nouns. However, after thorough investigation and multidimensional analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that they should be judged as adjectival forms in nature. It is specially emphasized in the paper that the pairs of antonymous adjectives used in this kind of phrases can not be nouns because they can be modified by the demonstrative pronoun name （那么）.
摘要：
The noun of human organs is a special subcategory of the noun. It can combine with noun of locality to form two kinds of sturcture, which exist respectively as ＂方（noun of locality）＋X＂ and ＂X＋方（noun of locality）＂. The former can indicate both human body and location, while the latter only refers to location, and both structures are very different in the way to indicate location. The core part of the article, choosing four groups of noun of locality in symmetry and 25 nouns of human organs, explores their combining rules and characteristics. The survey reveals that among the combination of＂方-＋X＂, ＂左（zuo）/;右（you）＋X＂ is most symmetrical in form and meaning, while among the combination of＂X＋方＂, ＂X＋上（shang）/下（xia）＂ is most symmetrical. Besides, ＂上（shang）＂ ＂前（qian）＂ ＂里（li）/内 （nei）/中 （zhong）＂ is easier to be appended to X than ＂下（xia）＂＂ 后（hou） ＂＂外（wai）＂. To these characteristics, we offer an explanation from congnitive perspective.
