Abstract

Dummy verbs is used as predicate like general verb, they are weakened the original meaning of movement or action. they didn’t display substantive meaning, they formed a phrase with object that displayed movement. their name is very various, the object property of them is different from the property of general object. it is not clear about category, feature, and function, so many problems still are in constant discussion. we need to study about it, the adjunct of dummy verbs has not yet been studied. this paper according to the generation grammar’s theory and adjunct condition, we considered classification, feature and generative processes in the adjunct of dummy verbs, we came to the following conclusions. the adjunct of dummy verbs are made up of adverbs, auxiliary verb and prepositional phrase. they are used of adverbial in front of dummy verbs. several adjuncts can also be used together. and dummy verbs isn’t a overt light verb or covert light verb. the meaning of verb is weakened by itself, they have properties and functions of verb, they can use dynamic postposition behind dummy verbs, and they can use negative adverb, auxiliary verb in front of dummy verbs, and the object of them stand for movement, they have a property of noun. the adjunct of dummy verbs was added to maximal projection, it can’t be added to argument NP or CP. light verb phrase vP hasn’t the feature of argument, adjunct can be added to vP. adjunct was projected in vP head according to Adjunct Projection Principle. adjunct is generated in surface structure, it doesn’t need to move position, it merges on this right spot. we don’t check features because it has the feature that was projected in maximal projection. the adjunct of dummy verbs it is merged into the left in tree diagram, and it is consisted of one structure, so we can’t extract any element among them. according to the related generation grammar theory and adjunct theory, we progress the syntax project in the adjunct of dummy verbs structure, we can project like this paper 〈picture 5〉 and 〈picture 7〉. the adjunct of dummy verbs is located in front of them, it is merged into the left in tree diagram. several adjuncts can also be projected together, we can’t extract any element among them, this is the sole parameter phenomenon of chinese, we have to modify category and properties of generation grammar adjunct.
