Problems on Tagging of Parts of Speech of Chinese Two- Syllable Body Compound-Focused on Verb and Adjective

Abstract

This paper analyzed the partiality of 42 two-syllable body compound words with different parts of speech as verbs and adjectives in various dictionaries through the modification of adverbs of degree. Type A body compound words consist of a subject predicate structure except for three predicate object structures. It is difficult to say that this type of compound word is lexicalized as a typical adjective because it is found that it receives little modification of adverbs of degree. Type B body compound words consist of predicate object structures, and it is a general view that as the internal closeness increases, they have been lexically converted from predicate object phrases into heterologous verbs. Many of these compound words can be seen as verb adjectives and concurrent verbs because they are relatively actively modified by adverbs of degree. The internal closeness of Chinese compound words is generally higher in the predicate object structure than the subject predicate structure. As the lexical progress of the predicate object structure with high internal closeness is more active, it is thought that type B compound words are more formulated by adverbs of degree.
