Then we further assume that Chinese has two forms of verb phrase ellipsis in coordinate sentences : one is VP ellipsis involving NOC, and the other is vP ellipsis which is supported by the linking verb shi ' be ' or a modal verb. 我们进一步认为汉语并列句中有两种形式的动词短语省略:一是零宾语结构可以分析为动词短语省略,记作VP省略;另一种是由是或情态动词支持的vP省略。
Complex Predicate is sentences that have two or more verbs or verb-phrases linking tighter as predicate, which consist of Telescopic Form and Serial verb constructions. 复杂谓语是现代汉语对连动式和兼语式的统称。是指一个谓语里包含两个或两个以上的动词或动词短语连用而中间却没有关联词语的句式。
