This paper makes a study of the semantics of ‘verb+zai+location’. Depended on the meaning of zai which means ‘being’ and ‘arriving’, the meaning of ‘verb+zai+location’ can be divided into ‘scene of space’ and ‘scene of moving to the terminus’. First, according to the characteristics of verbs, the ‘scenes of space’ can be classified into dynamic type and static type. And the static type is divided into ‘simple static type in space’ and ‘static type after action’. Second, according to semantics, the ‘scene of moving to the terminus’ can be divided into ‘agent, patient, experiencer, instrument’ four elements.BR And each type of semantics is described in detail. It can be said that this classification is more meticulous than the previous semantic classification. In semantic analysis, we re-analyzed the meaning of ‘zai’, and then focused on the semantic relationship between the verb, the ‘zai’, the location and the argument involved in the verb, rather than just analyzing the verb and the location. We found that the ‘scene of space’ can be interchanged with the ‘zai+location+verb’ sentence pattern, and the ‘scene of moving to the terminus’ and the ‘zai+location+verb’ sentence pattern can be interchanged only when the ‘action’ related argument (agent, patient, experiencer, instrument, etc.) and the ‘action’ is located in the same location. Finally, the semantic meaning of ‘verb+zai+location’ is described by means of image schema and scanning in cognitive linguistics.
