From the perspective of cognitive linguistics and based on the self-built corpus,this paper expounds in detail the di-achronic evolution process of the construction of the verbalized"红"(Hong/Red),a typical adjective in the color domain,summarizes the syntactic and semantic features displayed by the construction in its evolution process,and excavates its hierar-chy of the conceptual structure and the construction's cognitive mechanisms and cognitive motivations.This study holds that the construction of"verbalized'红'(Hong/Red)+object"well reflects the four levels of its conceptual metaphtonymy struc-ture:"mental space→frame→domain→image schema",and the emergence of this construction mainly benefits from the stim-ulation of metonymic mechanism.The principle of"prominence"in construal theory are its important cognitive motivations.This study refines the research results of"verbalized'红'(Hong/Red)+object"construction,and it is also one of the exam-ples of the development and formation of supernormal verb-object constructions in language.
