Abstract

In terms of Systemic Functional Grammar this paper is intended to explore the properties of transtivity system in Chinese Possessor-Possessed Objective Clause as well as its possessive meanings.It is concluded through detailed analysis that Chinese Possessor-Possessed Objective Clause is defined by the semantic relations between the starting NP and ending NP whose semantic functions are scattered between possessive meaning and existential meaning, and are construed into a cline in the transitivity system.
- possessor-possessed objective clause,
- possessive meaning,
- transitivity system,
