Abstract

Existential Sentences indicate the existence, emergence, or disappearance of something or somebody. Adjunct is the concept of generation, it represents time, location. many cholars studied existential sentences for a long time, but The Adjunct of Existential Sentences wasn"t still studied by them. this paper according to the generation grammar"s theory, we try to solve existing problems about Existential Sentences and its adjunct and also going one step further will study the classification and generative processes in the adjunct of existential sentences. we will specially study the phrases of preposition that are located in front of NP1. the adjunct of existential sentences are made up of adverbs, auxiliary verb and prepositional phrase. they are used of adverbial, and they modify a verb. Auxiliary verbs are located in front of verb, adverb can be used of adjunct in front of V, and preposition could be used in front of NP1, or it couldn"t be used in front of NP1. the adjunct of existential sentences was added to maximal projection, it can"t be added to argument NP or CP. adjunct was projected in VP head according to Adjunct Projection Principle. Adjunct is generated in surface structure, it don"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. chinese adjunct 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 progressing the syntax project in the adjunct of existential sentences, we can project like this paper <picture4>, <picture7> and <picture9>. NP1 is noun phrase, it is a subject ,it is merged into the left in tree diagram. NP1 is preposition phrase, it shows with adjunct. it is showed with preposition in English, this is the sole parameter phenomenon of chinese, we have to modify definition and category of adjunct in generative grammar.
