This paper and the paper
Stereotypical relation: pragmatic inference and its formal approach (Modern Foreign Languages, 2003,1)
are twin papers, the theoretical consideration of which is to seek a general explanation underlying the motivation of both the formation of
syntactic construction and the interpretation of utterance. Showing stereotypical relations is an attribute of language. Stereotypical relations are the relations inherent in things themselves, and they could, through the cognitive refraction, be turned into a cognitive instrument in the process of language use. On the basis of this idea and of the cognitive hypothesis that syntactic rules are in nature the projection of the laws of objects in reality, the paper attempts to set up a theoretical model of stereotypical-relation for the analysis of syntactic constructions. Taking as an example the analysis of the syntactic construction of SVN in Chinese in which V is an intransitive verb and N is the object of this intransitive verb, the paper tries to show the application of the model in seeking the motivations underlying syntactic construction.
