Abstract

In modern Chinese, De-Construction is widely used, and the NP1++NP2 structure often leads to ambiguity. According to the theory of qualia structure, analyzing the qualia roles of nouns can explain the causes and semantics behind the ambiguity formation. The activation of implicit predicates is used to differentiate semantics. As some nouns can also function as verbs, a multifaceted structure, NP1/VP++NP2, is created. Moreover, for de-construction where the qualia roles of nouns are the same, the interpretative power is evidently compromised. This phenomenon is related to cultural background, pragmatic communication, and other factors, causing the extension and expansion of semantic connotations in the de-construction. Therefore, the generation of ambiguity is unrelated to the qualia roles of noun materials.
