Therefore the last two examples are called one-member sentences or non-subject-predicate sentences.

These words and phrases in a sentence with certain grammatical functions are called sentence elements. Generally speaking, there are six sentence elements in Chinese; subject, predicate, object, attributive, adverbial adjunct and complement. For instance’, there are three elements in the sentence FJ UiRK. FA is the subject, 3#2J the predicate and #43 the object. In the sentence FUAIKS FJ HWE, there are five elements; subject, predicate, ob- ject, attributive and adverbial adjunct. ‘The sentence elements are shown in the following table;BASE Rl EARS TRB SY Subject part Predicate part iG | WIA BHiAl aR Subject | Predicate verb | Object aM | FA 2 SRB THE RB Subject part Predicate part SE Ti Sh a aR Subject Predicate verb Object EB we AEE Attributive Adverbial adjunct Attributive a wR | HA By Ris | ia 3 SEVa ERS TWERBSY Subject part Predicate part SER maa SB ~ | Subject Predicate verb Object ARE .

Notional words have actual meaning and can act as sentence elements in- dependently. Nouns, verbs, auxiliary verbs, adjectives, numerals, measure words and pronouns belong to this category. All the 10 words in the above 3 sentences are notional words. While function words do not have actual meaning and can not be used alone as sentence elements. Prepositions and auxiliary words are in this category. (a) wet Phrase TALE ARR — EEA SRA). ALLA 5ASEFAIEENE | a SEV, BUSS. WETS.

A phrase is a combination of words arranged according to certain grammatical rules. There are the subject-predicate (S-P) phrase, the verb-object (V-O) phrase, the endocentric phrase, etc. For example: in the sentence “FRANKS AS DIA” , “PURER” and “NUR 34” are both nominal endocentric phrase. “4%” and “37H” both serve as the attributive; “3% j35J” is a verbal endocentric phrase modified by the adverbial adjunct “$y”. “3% JiR” is a Verb-Object phrase.

The basic sentence~pattern of Chinese language is: the subject comes first, verbs follow. The modifier, be it attributive or adverbial, must be placed before the modified word, while the complement is always placed after the verbs. Pay attention to the following graphs; BPWWEtR: ASHE EWE) Modifier (attributive ) Bt (Hub) Modified word HHBPAR, BERT, HOTA MBIA, Different word order brings different meaning.

Because the order of the adver- bial “8” and “#K” changes, the meaning changes completely : RN ABA HK. (Fea “HAT” PBA — PA) RA] AAR A. (He “BAN” BPAHAK, FARE) DOE HY Si COAT RAEN MMB ASE, AR AUR HR. IY. HE. BRATS. CELE TEU, ARI ARR. HES. KR. NMSA AR, iS HVES ARR. Atk, TE GER. Unlike the verbs in Indo-European language, there is no strict mor- phological change in Chinese language. The form of a verb remains un- changed under all circumstances. Differences in person, gender, number or time do not require changes in the form of a verb, which makes the word order even more important; Lai “O" abl, AP RIMM: Take the verb “4” as the example: look at the following four sen- tences ; 1 & Fe 2 4, Ko 3 Fe4i1 | 2 [RRQ 4 aR we $a, RE As Ho SURES AR, TERIA, ARMS, (Hebi “ie” WERAGRRS Though the subjects vary in their gender and number, the verb “z” stays the same.— coe ee RE PE Fe ah ia “AY” AERA IRAE. al: This can be illustrated by one further example. The form of the verb £5] also remains unchanged with any time reference. For example: REF HIG, ——HitA (Referring to the past) RREF IRB, 44IL# (Referring to the present) RAF ET AB, ——444$K (Referring to the future) (=) AE EEE BE The use of “function word” also plays the important role in Chinese language.

Another feature of modern Chinese is the wide array of measure words, which indicate the specific unit or measure of things or actions. The use of measure words is obligatory, extensive and complicated. It is not easy for foreigners to learn all those measure words. He has to learn them one by one. SALMO TILA F922 Ta; Take the following measure words for example ; Di PER, BPE, Set KR: -KRT, ARLA, ERR qe: —RHF, Ate, Kia A: —AH, BAWMR, CARH BAILA es FES dBA Here are another two examples; ki RAK, FMBK 38: Ai, THB, Fs ANZ, MPRA RE, BEE — Fh Se BE FY Ae ind BET AL HD AES, MA ARA RES , Wma, MLE WEA. Fir BAP EA REET ED TEENA HOE, ESOL, PASE AMBAMET . To sum up, it is not easy for foreign learners to remember all those measure words, to master a method of word formation and sentence con- struction which relies mainly on word order and function words, but it must be done. It is hoped foreign learners will strive hard to grasp the characteristics of Chinese grammar. 10TB et A — A ic, ARR AB HEAR. DURHAM EW, SEMA. Mi AER TE, TANS, WA PHARAMT RATE a. MAM: AL Ry BR, SE.

If a word is represented by a single syllable, we call it a monosyllabic word. If a word is represented by two syllables, we call it a dissyllabic word. Words composed of three or more syllables are called polysyllabic words. In writing, a syllable is a charac- ter. So a monosyllabic word is represented by one character, a dissyllabic word by two characters, and a polysyllabic one by more than two charac- ters. For example: A, #&, 43, 3%, etc. are monosyllabic words; 2X iSPBASOUGHE ii, EIT, WH, MAH, etc. are dissyllabic words: AFA, ATK 4g, etc. are polysyllabic words. There are a few characters which are meaningless by themselves and they must be combined with other charac- ters to make up words, e. g. in the word #j4j (grapes) , neither #j or i carries any meaning by itself, HE and # in #EEE as well as Bk and HY in 3234 are all such cases.

BUSS MNF (SUBS 14 3) In Chinese, words can be divided into two kinds; notional words and function words. Nouns, verbs, auxiliary verbs, adjectives, numer- als, measure words and pronouns belong to the notional word category; adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, particles, interjections and onoma- topes belong to the function word category. Besides, there are two kinds of affixes, namely , prefixes and suffixes. A table of parts of speech is given below: (p. 14) B ines Conversion of parts of speech — BORG, AMAA HUF —MaZ.

BRL “ORE” i) WIM: WAHAB, Add, HARMAN LARA Tr ARIE. Normally a word belongs to a certain part of speech. But some words have the grammatical function of two of more parts of speech. Here are two examples; For example; the word “783” is used as a noun in “i ABZ” , while it is used as a verb in “fh ART”. The word “45” is used as a verb in the sentence “#4 4h—-X45” while “#4” is a preposi- tion in the sentence “244&{']Jt24”. In the phrase NASER, EF is an adjective, meaning “rich”, while in the phrase HAA, 4H becomes a verb meaning “to enrich”. In this case, =£ 7% belongs to two different parts of speech; adjective and verb. This is called conversion of parts of speech, i. e. they belong to different parts of speech without any change in form. Ae AR EA A, Ce EN Td, (ES FEMA MBA A, AWA, MN “RAND” AL “22S” Bin) “AA” AbeahiAl. If the meaning of a word in different sentences remains unchanged, it is not considered conversion although it has different functions.
