The Semantic Structures and Rhetorical Features of Three-charactered Neologisms in the Pattern “Predicate VP + NP” (Article written in chinese)

WANG Jie

Abstract

This paper makes an analysis of the type of three-charactered neologisms in the pattern “Predicate VP + NP” like µo¿N¤Í, ´îªÎ¯ù, ³z©ú«×, etc. from the point of word formation. It expounds the semantic relations between the two sections in the pattern and on this basis describes the rhetorical features of this type of neologisms and proves that different semantic structures are concealed in them.

Keywords: word composed of three Chinese characters; predicative component; semantic structure
