There is a special structure of"huo+adj/v+□[sa0]"in the Dongguang dialect of Hebei Province.It contains an emphatic meaning,indicating that the degree has reached its extreme.This struc-ture is not directly grammaticized from"shengsheng/huohuo+adjective/verb+death";and there is a hier-archy problem in its formation process.It evolved from the original structure"adj/v+□[sa0]+(person)"by adding a degree adverb"huo".
