The purpose of this paper is to re-conceptualize the grammar of Chinese from the phenomenon of iterative word mapping in Tang poems.It examines the concept,cognitive structure,syntactic structure,logical structure,and the reasons for the formation of iterative word mapping,and redefines its concept from a grammatical point of view.The cognitive structure of the iterative word mapping can be explained by the Access-and-Activation model of the Window of Attention,and the iterative word mapping can be categorized into half-sentence and full-sentence according to the elasticity and the breadth of the Window of Attention.The syntactic structure of the iterative word mapping has characteriistics such as discontinuity,juxtaposition and rhyme.The logical structure of the iterative word mapping is the"logic of correlative duality",which belongs to the co-variation of the expression of pairs of related words.The formation of the iterative word mapping originates from dialogues,which can be regarded as the listener's answer to the speaker,and the first half and the second half of the iterative word mapping are still dialogues,in which the listener completes the unfinished words of the speaker,reflecting the interactive subjectivity of language.The iterative word mapping of Tang poetry not only proves that Chinese nouns are"super-noun",but also lets us realize that Chinese grammar is"Dui-speech Grammar(macro-grammar)".
