Abstract

As a commonly-used construction in modern Chinese, X-lai (come)-X-qu (go) comes from classical Chinese and it is still widely used in both oral and written Chinese today. In this paper we focus primarily on the construction where two Xs belong to the same monosyllable verb (V-lai-V-qu). Based on previous studies, we use theories of cognitive linguistics to explain the syntactic and semantic features of this construction, as well as the different frequencies of its variants. We hope this study can bring new insights to the exploration of cognitive mechanisms in researches of the similar Chinese verbal constructions.

The case where “lai” and “qu” are interchangeable in “V-lai-V-qu” (V is monosyllabic) has the number of 2278 out of 5897 (about 38.6%) cases in BCC Corpus, while the number of “V-qu-V-lai” (V is monosyllabic) is only 97 out of 380 (25.5%) cases in BCC Corpus, among these 97 cases, “lai” and “qu” are interchangeable most of the time.
 
2
Even if we only find 5 corresponding cases in BCC Corpus, some verbs like “da (hit)”, “xiang (think)”, “ai (love)”, “tui (push)”, “ku (cry)”, “jiang (speak)”, “fan (grub)” and so forth, can be found in the spoken Chinese online, this shows that people tend to use this pattern to emphasize the repetitive action represented by the V-element.
 
3
By searching for relative cases in BCC modern Chinese corpus we find that the total number of frequencies of “A-lai-A-qu” and “N-lai-N-qu” is no more than 400 but the number of “V-lai-V-qu” is almost 2200. However, we can also see some “A-lai-A-qu” constructions like “ming (bright)-lai-an (dark)-qu”, “qiao (artful)-lai-miao (artful)-qu”, “gao (high)-lai-di (low)-qu”, etc., and some “N-lai-N-qu” constructions like “zhao (morning)-lai-mu (evening)-qu”, “si (silk)-lai-xian (thread)-qu”, “chun (spring)-lai-dong (winter)-qu” in classical Chinese corpus.
