A Comparative Study of"Zheng V Zhe"and"Zai V Zhe"Based on Statistical Analysis of Modern Chinese Corpus
Chinese is an analytical language that lacks strict morphological changes.The grammatical form and meaning are not one-to-one correspondences,and the same grammatical meaning can be reflect-ed by multiple grammatical forms.In modern Chinese,"zheng V zhe"and""zai V zhe"reflect a common grammatical meaning:"ongoing"or"continuous".There are differences in semantics,syntax and pragmat-ics between them when expressing the grammatical meaning of"ongoing and continuous".The article con-ducts a quantitative statistical analysis based on 2886"zheng V zhe"sentences and 3180"zai V zhe"sen-tences retrieved from the modern Chinese corpus of Peking University.Based on this,a qualitative analysis is conducted on the differences between"zheng V zhe"and"zai V zhe".
