According to traditional philological materials such as Shuowen Jiezi and oracle bone inscriptions, the original meaning of the character 得 is “get”. This article takes the Book of Mencius as closed materials, exhaustively categorizing all entries of 得 in Mencius, totaling 114 examples. Then we analyze semantic content and grammatical features references to the four commentaries from Zhao Qi , Sun Shi, Zhu Xi, Jiao Xun. We find that all examples of 得 are used as verbs, but there are 12 examples where it is used as a delexical verb, exemplifies the gradual trend of semantic attenuation of 得. After conducting linguistic analysis of the character 得, we explore its manifestation of the philosophical ideas in Mencius, including aspects of personal cultivation, interpersonal relationships, and governance wisdom. Through the interaction of language and cultural analysis, we further deepen our study of the language theory and ancient classics culture.

Based on the interaction between construction and causative words, this paper explains the reasons for the diversity of causative words in the construction of causative words. This paper refers to Goldberg’s construction diagram and summarizes the interaction schema between the causative construction argument and the actor role of causative words. In this paper, relevant examples are used to explain the principle of the integration of the constructional elements of causative words and the roles of participants in causative words. On the basis of the fusion principle, this paper analyzes how the causative construction chooses and limits the actor role of causative words. This paper also makes a detailed summary of the fusion law between the causative constructors and the participants of causative words.

本文运用语料库方法对‘程度副词+V得/不C’结构的使用情况进行了调查，检索结果发现在1223个动词当中，可适用于该结构的动词有199个。经分析表明‘V得/不C’能否受到程度副词修饰、能否带宾语都与可能补语结构的词汇化程度、结构形式、充当补语的词类无关，而是由可能补语结构本身具有的可能意义表达出来的状态、性质特征所决定的。因此，本文将这些能受到程度副词修饰的可能补语结构看成一个语块(chunk）。并且把‘程度副词+V得/不C+O’中的‘O(宾语)’视为表示状态、性质的一部分，也将其包括在语块范围在内，因此该结构应该分析为‘程度副词+(V得/不C+O）’结构。
