ABSTRACT
Light Verb Syntax and the Theory of Phrase Structure
Tzong-Hong Lin, Advisor: Professor C.-T. James Huang
Doctor of Philosophy in Social Science,
National Tsing Hua University, Hsin-Chu City, Taiwan
This work aims to an explanatory theory on the construction of phrase structure and
the licensing of arguments in natural language. The data that is focused on in this work
is the array of phenomena in Mandarin Chinese called the unselectiveness of subject and
object. It is shown that an action verb in Mandarin Chinese can freely take an agent, a
locative or a causer as surface subject, and an instrument, a location, a time, or a reason as
surface object. Scrutiny on the relevant facts reveal that the phrase structure in the
Mandarin Chinese sentence is composed of eventuality predicates, syntactically as light
verbs, which license arguments and introduce them in to the structure. In this sense,
Mandarin Chinese can be said to be a "Davidsonian" language, since the composing
elements in the syntactic structure correspond to eventuality predicates in the semantic
representation.
Key words: construction of phrase structure; licensing of arguments;
unselectiveness of subject and object; Mandarin Chinese; Davidsonian" language

CHAPTER 5
THE LIGHT VERB SYNTAX IN CHINESE
1. Introduction
In this chapter we look at the light verb syntax from several different perspectives. In
section 2, we look at other some other light verbs in Mandarin Chinese sentences, in
particular those with higher functional contents. In section 3 we summarize all the light
verbs we have seen in Mandarin Chinese, and demonstrate the "Davidsonian" character of
Mandarin Chinese. In section 4, we extend our perspective to cover other Chinese
dialects. It is shown that, though some Chinese dialects do not exhibit the full range of
unselectiveness of subject and object as Mandarin Chinese, some regularities can be
discerned. Our focus will be specially placed on Taiwanese, which makes extensive
uses of lexical realization, rather than head movement, as the means to support the light
verbs in the phrase structure. In section 5, we turn to the historical perspective and
examine the case of Archaic Chinese. It is shown that Archaic Chinese, surprisingly,
was more like the present-day English in allowing productive deadjectivals and
denominals. We provide an explication for the relevant phenomena, and propose an
account for the historical changes of the light verb syntax in Chinese. At the end of this
chapter is a concluding remark.

2. Other light verbs in Mandarin Chinese
In Chapter 3 and 4, we examined the phenomena of unselectiveness of subject and object
177
in Mandarin Chinese. We proposed that all arguments in Mandarin Chinese sentences
are licensed by light verbs. All of the light verbs that we saw introduce an argument into
the sentence and help to shape the eventuality by contributing a specific aspect to it. But
there can be light verbs that simply contribute to the shaping of the eventuality without
introducing arguments. In the following, we will look at two kinds of elements that fall
into this class, the aspectual markers -le (perfective), -zhe (durative), and -guo
(experiential), and the extension marker -de. Besides, there are higher functional
categories in a Mandarin Chinese sentence that take the whole light verb structure as
scope. We will look at two of them in this section, the raising modals and the tense
category T.
2.1 The aspectual markers
In Chapter 2 and 3 we encountered some questions related to the aspectual markers in
Mandarin Chinese. Here we will look at more details. Some researchers in Chinese
linguistics notice that the post-verbal aspectual markers in Mandarin Chinese, the
perfective -le, the durative -zhe, and the experiential -guo, play a substantial role in

In all examples in (2-3), suru is compounded with a noun, yielding a verbal expression.
But suru in these examples has no effect on the transitivity property of the verbal
expression. In (2a), the noun is hooi 'surround'; the verbal expression hooi-suru 'to
surround' must assume transitive use and take an object. Intransitive use of the verb
hooi-suru will result in ungrammaticality. The reverse is true for (2b), where the noun is
seityoo 'growth'. The verbal expression seityoo-suru 'to grow' must assume intransitive
use. But there are also cases where either transitive or intransitive use is permitted, such
as idoo 'move' and its verbal counterpart idoo-suru in (3a-b). These examples show that
the crucial factor that determines the transitivity of the verbal expression in the suru
construction is the inherent property of the noun which suru is compounded with; suru
doesn't play any concrete role. In this sense, suru is said to be a "light verb", as it is
semantically light and only plays a functional role in the structure.1
2.1 The Chomskyan light verb
The term Chomskyan light verb is meant to refer to the notion of the light verb employed
by Chomsky (1995, 1998, 1999), its antecedents in Larson (1988) and Hale and Keyser
(henceforth HK) (1991, 1993), and many of its descendants. On this notion, the light verb
basically functions as an empty place holder in the syntactic structure, with elementary
semantics only (HK 1993). In Chomsky's works (in particular 1998 and 1999), the light
1 For further discussion on the suru construction, see Grimshaw and Mester (1988), Hoshi and Saito (1993),
among many others. In these works, the focus is on "argument transfer" from the noun to suru. Also see
Huang (1997) for discussion on the suru construction from a different perspective (cf. section 2.2, Chapter
6). The traditional view on the function of suru when it is compounded with a noun is that it provides a
locus for grammatical inflection. See Shibatani (1990) for an introduction.
