Chapter 1 Literature Review

Many scholars have made detailed researches on the syntactic structure of DOC from various perspectives.This thesis firstly will present some important viewpoints proposed by those scholars.And then,the previous studies on the construction meaning of DOC will be discussed in the following part.
1.1 Studies on the Syntactic Structure of DOC
Since there are many researches on the syntactic structure of DOC at home and abroad,this thesis will simply sum up several important viewpoints to display a comprehensive understanding of the research state of this topic.Although the syntactic structure of DOC is not the focus of this thesis,it will support the defining of DOC from the structural point of view in Chapter 2.
Because the structure of Chinese DOC is more abundant than that of English DOC, traditional theory of Chinese DOC focuses on the description of the structure of DOC. Zhu De-xi(1982)thinks that DOC refers to the structure that one predicate takes two objects simultaneously,each holding a relationship with the predicate and there is no structural relationship among them.According to Zhu’s view,DOC should be separated into three parts,that is,predicate,close object and distant object instead of being divided into two parts.But there is another view,that is,DOC can be considered as the structure which consists of predicate-object and object.In this case,DOC can be divided into two parts.
Based on the semantic characters of IO and DO(direct object),Ma Qing-zhu(1992) separates Chinese DOC into fourteen types,which offers some empirical basis for the study on Chinese DOC.According to the limit of the scope of double-object verbs,Li Lin-ding(1984)classifies Chinese DOC into eight types.But both Ma and Li fail to put forward a uniform criterion.Shen Yang(2001)thinks that noun phrases expressing measurement,momentum and time in the classification put forward by Ma are some of the predicate complement.For example,他们抬了伤员好几里路(tamen tai-le shangyuan haojililu,which means that“they carried a wounded people for several miles”)and给他一巴掌(gei ta yibazhang,which means that“give him a slap”).
Those noun phrases do not have the character of argument,so they are not the objects of verbs.Gu Yang(1999)believes that the scope of DOC defined by Ma and Li is too wide.
In her opinion,although a detailed classification could be made from the descriptive point of view according to the scope defined by Ma and Li,it will lead to a lack of theoretical basis.Besides,Gu thinks that the conceptual differences between object and complement should be distinguished strictly.From the classification of Ma and other scholars,it can be seen that the syntactic structure of Chinese DOC is‘Sbj V Obj1 Obj2’.
