The present research aims to analyze existing idiomatic constructions, classify their semantics, as well as label their syntactic functions. Unlike the Corpus of Modern Chinese Constructions provided by Beijing University, this corpus explores the interrelated syntactic, semantic and pragmatic regularities of Chinese idiomatic constructions. Investigating isomorphic constructions, synonymic constructions and the relationship between the embedded semi-bound morphemes and the syntactic functions of idiomatic constructions, this corpus will help learners better understand the overall meanings of idioms and improve learning efficiency. The link between near synonymic idioms is also provided for pedagogical purposes. Based on the semantics of the idiomatic constructions, researchers can further probe the cultural basis of numeral idioms. |
