The sentence pattern"děng(等)(dào(到))VP1,VP2"can be characterized as posterior event-grounded temporal compound sentence,in which the conjunction"děng(等)(dào(到))"is a connective marker that introduces the temporal antecedent clause.It has the following sentence patterns as subtypes:"děng(等)(dào(到))VP1,biàn(便)/jiù(就)VP2""děng(等)(dào(到))VP1,cái(才)VP2".In this sentence pattern,the event in the antecedent clause functions as a temporal reference,whose occurrence is immediately followed by the occurence of the event in the main clause.The antecedent clause is the temporal background and the main clause is the semantic focus.VP1 and VP2 are generally consistent in expressing past event or future event.If they express past event,the two clauses show features of perfect aspect.If they express future event,then(a)both the antecedent clause and the main clause are in future perfect tense,or(b)the antecedent clause is in future perfect tense and the main clause in simple future tense.

The category of dummy verbs includes both typical members and atypical members, the latter of which have not attracted enough attention of current scholars. A1 though "Vchu" (出) , such as zuochu (做出/作出), geichu (给出), tichu (提出) and fa- chu (发出), are atypical members, they can distribute in the same positions where typical dummy verbs appear and have the same properties as typical ones. This paper shows that "V chu" are in the process of lexicalization. Further, the critical context for lexicalization of "V chu" lies in the fact that they take disyllable verbs as their objects, and the two ways of un- derstanding provide the condition for the transition from "V chu" to dummy verbs. Based on the above analysis, this paper points out that the typical distribution frame of dummy verbs, that is, "preposition + patient +__+ disyllabic transitive verb", is the final context for lexicalization of "V chu".

Yinzhou(鄞州) dialect belongs to Yongjiang( 甬江) sub-clusters of Taihu(太湖) cluster of the Wu(吴) group. The phonology of Yinzhou(鄞州) dialect is constructed with a certain regularity, such as follows: [η] only combines with Kaikou Hu(开口呼); the finals with the medial glide of [u] are quite weak in their combination competence, which just combines with initials of velar and zero-initial. In addition to the common linguistical characteristics of Wu(吴) Group, Yinzhou(鄞州) dialect has the following characteristics as well: (1)Initial of [dz] is getting interblending with intial of [z]; (2)There are differences between the finals of Jian(见) group, which is [e], and the other groups, which is [e], of the first grade of Kaikou(开口) in MC Shan(d4); (3) Nasal tail vowels in the Kaikou(开口) of MC Dang(宕), MC Jiang(江) and the second grade of MC Geng(梗) are come off; (4) the characters of Shusheng(舒声) with voiced initials has a tendency of combination.
摘要:
In terms of grammatical features,the adverb 'conglai(从来)' in Contemporary Chinese is different from that of Middle Chinese and Modern Chinese.'Conglai(从来)' is often placed at the beginning of the sentence in Middle and Modern Chinese,but between the subject and the predicate in Contemporary Chinese;there is no obvious tendency in both the affirmative and negative usage of 'conglai(从来)' in Middle Chinese and Modern Chinese, but it is mainly used in negative sentences in Contemporary Chinese;when used in affirmative sentences,there are seldom adverbs for emphasis between 'conglai(从来)' and the predicate in Middle Chinese and Modern Chinese,but those adverbs are needed in Contemporary Chinese.In the paper,the causes of these phenomena are also discussed.
