‘hǎohāor+de’ is composed of the syntactic superimposed form ‘hǎohāor’ and the structural auxiliary word ‘de.’ It is a structure that occurs very frequently in modern spoken Chinese. ‘hǎohāor’ can only act as an adverbial (have a good time) or an attribute (a quite good book in a sentence). ‘hǎohāor’ cannot be used alone, or act as a subject, an object or a predicate. Nor can it modify a noun or a noun phrase directly. However, ‘hǎohāor+de’ can be used alone, and can be used as a predicate, a complement, an attribute and an adverbial. Different syntactic functions of ‘hǎohāor+de’ have different semantic features. This is a difficult point for the students who are non-native speakers of Chinese. This paper discusses in detail the syntactic functions and the related semantic features of ‘hǎohāor+de,’ and also tries to probe into the source of it, hoping to provide some help for Chinese language teaching.

The purpose of this paper is to examine what grammatical functions and meanings the for-to-Ⅴ construction possessed in the early Middle English religious prose Holy Maidenhood (original title: Hali Meidhad). It has been claimed that the for-to-Ⅴ construction arose in the early Middle English period. From the 19 examples containing for-to-Ⅴ sequences in Holy Maidenhood, it is found that they could have diverse grammatical functions such as subject, complement, and adjunct, and various meanings other than `purpose.` These findings are against Jespersen`s (1909-49, Ⅴ) and Mustanoja`s (1960) arguments that the for-to-Ⅴ construction originally expressed `purpose.`

This paper discusses the functions of `as well as` in comparison with `and`. Our analysis of the KJV and the NIV of the Bible shows that `as well as` has been grammaticalized into a new coordinator, being in functional competition with the old coordinator `and`. This paper reveals that `as well as` has similar but different characteristics from `and`. Firstly, the distribution of the grammatical categories of the elements `as well as` coordinates are more limited--i.e. mostly NP and PP--than `and`. Secondly, `as well as` tends to coordinate syntactically more complex and less integrated elements than `and`. Thirdly, `as well as` tends to coordinate semantically more heterogeneous elements than `and`, which reflects iconic tendencies.

Eunil Kim . 2002. A Functional Appro ach to Eng li sh Educ ation . S t ud ie s in M od e rn Grammar 27, 105- 121. This study is to explore how Functional Grammar can contribute to English Education. As noted in Brown (2000), the human organism approaches any new problem with an existing set of cognitive structures : Previously learned material interferes with subsequent material. Korean learners of English will use whatever previous experience they have had with Korean in order to facilit ate English learning process. This study tries to develop teaching materials that help Korean student s overcome the interfering effect s of Korean on English, focusing on how the Korean and English grammars code semantic domains such as animacy, volitionality, inchoation and functional domains of voice and tense/ aspect .
