In addition, the predicate based substantive components can also enter the"zaoye X, wanye X"construction;In terms of syntactic function,"zaoye X, wanye X"can be used as a predicate, object, and clause; In terms of semantic properties, "zaoye X, wanye X" mainly represents continuous and numerous meanings, which is the propositional meaning of the construction itself;In terms of expression effect, in addition to its own propositional meaning, the construction sometimes carries subjective negative evaluation meaning from the speaker in use. This is its modal meaning, which is given by the context in the diachronic evolution of language and has not yet become a normative meaning. Therefore, this construction mainly has two aspects:emphasizing function and evaluating function.
