Abstract
“最[Zui](the most)+Noun” structure is widely used, and yet runs counter to traditional grammar rules. In order to explore the theoretical basis of this construction, the paper analyzes “最[Zui](the most)+Noun” structure from the perspective of the construction coercion mechanism. The research shows that “最[Zui](the most)+Noun” is a non-common construction structure in the intermediate state of schematic construction and entity construction. The fundamental motivation of construction coercion effect lies in interface conflict, including the contradiction and discord among the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels. Meanwhile, construction prototype, cognitive context and use frequency exert an influence on the process of construction coercion effect of “最[Zui](the most)+Noun” structure.
