Abstract

Abstract

Suo(所)-construction has been frequently used in modern Chinese.Compared with Suo-construction in ancient Chinese,it has some different features in syntax and pragmatics. Suo(所)in modern Chinese has identifiability, inclusivity and evaluation functions.On syntactic collocation, Suo(所)is usually followed by mental verbs, sensory verbs, get-category verbs, experience-category verbs and generate-category.When Suo-construction serves as subject and object, shi(是)-verb usually served as predicate head in the sentence.when Suo -construction serves as a prepositional object, the prepositions are usually with such semantic meanings as comparison or disposition.
