Chapter Two   Literature Review  

2.1 Introduction   
The problem of lexical category in Mandarin has always been very complicated. In the  Ma  Shi  Wen  Tong《马氏文通》,  Ma  Jianzhong  divides  lexical  category  in  ancient Chinese into nine categories on the basis of grammar study in western countries, which lays  the  basic  pattern  of  the  lexical  category  system  of  mandarin.  And  since  then academic  discussion  on  the  lexical  category  of  mandarin  has  never  stopped.  The discussion  about  word  class  in  the  1950s  is  of  great  significance  in  the  history  of grammar  study,  for  it  has  deeply  influenced  the  later  study  of  lexical  category  in Mandarin. In  this  discussion,  most  scholars  believe  that  words  in  Mandarin  can  be  classified and it is necessary to do some profound research of lexical category in Mandarin while studying  Mandarin  grammar.  Scholars  such  as  Li  Jinxi  (1924),  Lü  Shuxiang  (1942, 1944), Ding Shengshu (1952, 1953), Zhao Yuanren (1968), Chen Wangdao (1978), and Zhu  Dexi  (1982)  have  given  classified  lexical  category  in  Mandarin  in  detail.  So  far, according to Guo Rui (2004), there have been 20 kinds of part of speech in Mandarin.  On  the  criterion  of  classification  of  words  in  Mandarin,  different  from  multiple criteria in the previous research, current studies all believe that there is a single criterion, which is the syntactic function of words. Precisely speaking, the essence of classifying words is to infer the characteristic of words according to their distribution features. Guo Rui  (2004,  p.  128)  believes  that  different  words  will  appear  in  the  same  syntactic position  in  the  sentence  because  of  the  same  grammatical  meaning  sharing  by  those words. Similarly, words appearing in different syntactic position in a sentence will have different  grammatical  meaning.  At  the  same  time,  it  should  be  pointed  out  that  it  is essential  to  distinguish  the  levels  of  hierarchy  when  parts  of  speech  are  classified according to the grammatical function of the words, or the distribution of words in the sentence, that is from la本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
