1. Introduction
From a comprehensive view of the Chinese dictionaries, we can
find that "good" not only has considerable semantic diversity, but
45
also changes in tone.When the tone is three tones, the dictionary
reference book lists more than ten different semantics, and has a
variety of words, including state verbs, adverbs and auxiliary verbs
(Chinese Eight Hundred Words 1980 / 2004:256-258).Moreover, observe
the use frequency of "good" tone is three tones, modern Chinese
Frequency Dictionary (1986:141) points out that "good" is
attributive, complement, word 4026, frequency 0.30630; "good" is an
adverb, word

The function of associated adverb is "modifying the verb or
adjectives in the phrase or sentence, connecting word, phrase or
sentence and sentence" (Li Quan 2001:72). At the same time, the
associated adverb can connect the phrase and clauses in single and
multiple sentences, that is, the so-called "logical connection" (also,
namely), and can also connect the sentence and chapter in paragraphs and
chapters, that is, the so-called "chapter connection" (finally,
actually) (Zhang Yisheng 2000:20,23).

All empty words, although not often (or never) in the middle of the
two sentence forms, but they can represent the relationship between
sentences and sentences, is called "the end of the relationship",
the purpose table is "the end of the relationship".

Form roughly the same as modern Chinese good 1, good 2, good 3 and
good 4 coexistence situation.Li mainly discusses "good 1 good 3"
(from "advantages, satisfactory" "degree" table), "good 2 good 4"
(from "easy" to "easy, to") grammar phenomenon, and its think with
the two virtual process, "good" subjective degree synchronization,
namely "good" virtual process is usually accompanied by penetration
or strengthen subjective factors.Therefore, "good" blur is also a
process of improving its subjectivity, such as "good 3" (degree) and
"good 4" (purpose) after grammarization, its subjectivity is also
relatively improved.
On the other hand, from the transformation level of grammar
research, Wang (2005) and Wang
Wang Xiaoling (2005) Discussed the process of "good" respectively,
and through the presentation of diachronic corpus, the process of
"good" includes three paths:
Ⅰ .From a predicate "good" to an enhanced adverbial "good".
Ⅱ .From the predicate of "good" to the general complement, and
finally evolved to the time phase of "good".
Ⅲ .From the predicate "good" to the chapter mark "good".

The distinction between "category meaning" and "relationship meaning" can
58
roughly correspond to the "word category" pointed out by Deng Shouxin
(p a rt s o f s p e ec h) Unlike the "language class," the latter two
are the concepts generated after the word input syntax. Word class
refers to the direction of the word in a sentence, including nouns,
verbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, quantifiers,
AIDS and other words, is determined by the aggregation relationship
(pa r ad i g m a ti c p r ope rit e s), refers to the vertical
replacement relationship between words and words. On the other hand,
language refers to the function played by words in sentences, including
subjects, subject, predicate, attributive, adverbial and complement, which is
determined by the combinatorial relationship (s yn t a g m a ti c p r op e r
ti es) and refers to the horizontal co-occurrence limit of words and words
(Deng Xinxin 2009, private discussion).

Another related adverb "on", its verb original vocabulary meaning is

adverb of "less or earlier than expected": "When he graduates, he works
elsewhere", expressing the relationship between before and after sentences
(Qu Chengxi 2006:80).

3.5 Summary
As mentioned above, the central conceptual significance of "good"
with "many advantages and satisfactory", after being grammarized,
gradually forms the "good" before the verb, and finally moves towards
the function-oriented road.Its main function is to connect the front
and back sentences in the complex sentences to express the
grammatical significance of the "action-purpose" relationship.In
other words, "good" changed from a meaningful word to a
grammatical phenomenon that expresses the functional components of
grammar, which also became the basis of the larger cross-sentence
scope of chapters, connecting the concepts and chapter levels in
the three pure functional architectures of H alli d a y.
4. Chapter level: the "good" cohesion function and information focus
Halliday (1967,1985) mentions three chapter functions: cohesion
(cohesion), i n f o r m a ti on s tr uc t u r e (i n f o r m a ti on
s tr uc t u r e), and master structure (t he m a ti c s tr uc t u r
e).Connection is the function of chapter organization between
sentences, while information structure and principal structure are
the chapter organization function within sentences.Connection
mainly focuses on the specific form of the connection between the
linguistic components in the chapter. It is the external
connection form of the chapter, which is relative to the
coherence. The latter is the internal semantic connection, which
mainly refers to the relationship between various concepts or
propositions expressed in the chapter.The cohesion and coherence
are closely related, and the formal cohesion is to serve for the
semantic coherence, and is the surface form symbol of the internal
semantic coherence (Xu Yulong 2002:209).On the other hand, the
information structure mainly explains the horizontal combination
relationship of the information, which is centered on the receiver
and divided into known information and unknown information.Language
expression and understanding usually follow the principle of "the
known to the unknown" information arrangement (Chen Junlin
2007:329-331).The main structure is mainly centered on the speaker,
divided into two parts: the main position and the position: the main
position is the starting point of the sentence, and the position is
the content of the sentence (Halliday 1985:38).When the known
information of the sentence overlaps with the position of the main
position, it is combined as the theme, the rest of the sentence is
59
called the topic (Halli day1970:12), and the new information core at
the end of the topic is called the focus at the end of the
sentence.This section discusses the cohesion, semantic coherence of
"good" and the presentation of information focus.
4.1 The "Good" cohesion function
4.1.1 The cohesion function of "Good" in a single sentence
When "good" is located in front of the verb and the syntactic
environment is a single sentence, the syntax function of "good" can
describe something "easy to achieve", as shown in the examples (11)
and (12):
(11) This road is easy.
(12) Indeed, physics is not as easy to understand as mathematics.(UNIA
Balanced Cora)
Although "good" at this time is located in the category of single
sentence, as shown above, it still implies a trait (reason) of things
that makes an action or purpose easy to execute or achieve, as above
example (11) "this road is easy to go",

Check the above corpus, with "good" as the cut-off point, with the
former "action", followed by the "purpose" of the action.Since the
"good" parts have semantic connection, even if the "good" is
omitted, the purpose relationship still exists, as shown in example
(19 ') - (23'):
(19 ') Mrs.S i e v e r d i n g apparently thought I would live
there for a long time, because I moved there in early
April, I had no place for her. Every two days, she and her
friends cleaned a cabinet in the storage room and put
two carpets in the storage room for me to pick up the
book.
(20 ') This effort, my brother and I decided to study more hard
to get more rewards and add a sense of achievement.
(21 ') Please explain the meaning of these symbols, so that we

(22 ') The government attaches great importance to the case,
tries to slow down the progress of the case, and
exchange time for space, so that the prosecution in the
United States can strive for operational space.

62
important, to clear clear, also early will go home to save
life.
Example (19 ') - (23') shows that the "action-purpose" relationship
before and after the omitted "good" still exists, so what is the
"good" function?This and "good" later indicate "purpose"
62
Multi-perspective analysis and

The words "let, do" are concerned.If "let and do" appears "behind"
good ", its cohesion function will be weakened, and its addition is
only to enhance the already obvious" purpose action " function.On the
other hand, when "good" is separated from "let, for", its following
function is very obvious.In other words, if the lack of "good"
cohesion, and before and after the semantic coherence is not close,
before and after the sentence between the action-purpose relationship
is very weak, for example (24 '): "early will go home life important"
and "to clear (number) (number)" between the semantic connection is
not strong, cannot present sentence "action-purpose" relationship,
and must be by "good" function, the "purpose", to promote
Semantic coherence, take out between the lines of the "count the
number of people can go home early" sentence meaning.Thus, the
"good" cis-connection function not only strengthens the semantic
coherence, but also achieves the formal cohesion.
4.2 "Good" in the sentence group
All of the above discussions are conducted at the structural
level, however, "good" is both a mark of formal cohesion and serves
for semantic coherence, as Xu Yulong (2002:209) pointed out:
63
Research on Chinese Language Teaching
So that the lawsuit can be settled in the United States.If you use
"good", not only strengthen the purpose of "good", but also because
of the "good" related effect, the first sentence and the purpose more
closely connected.
In addition, if there is no "let, for" the purpose of the table,
but the internal coherence between two sentences is strong, the use of
"good" is not necessary, for example (26) of the action "will earn 20
percent to save" and "save" direct causal logic relationship, so even
if not use explicit cohesion means "good", also does not affect the
understanding.This is because there is no morphological change in the
Chinese language.The expansion of the paragraph in the chapter is
based on the idea of the speaker, that is, the internal coherence of
"Italian harmony" (parataxis) as the main means. Although the
paragraph can also be expanded through the "form harmony" (hypotaxis)
explicit means of "good", it is not necessary (Chen Junguang
2007:119).
On the contrary, if the semantic coherence of the two sentences
is not strong, and there is no "let, for" existence, then "good" will
have to shoulder the connection before and after, to achieve the
purpose of semantic coherence.For example (27) in the "good" of the
sentence "to clear (point) clear (point)" and "it is important to go
home early", if there is no "good", it is difficult to understand the
before and after the relationship.In addition, if the speaker wants
to express their subjective evaluation, the use of "good" can
clearly present the coherence of the meaning and the subjectivity
of the speaker.The "good" expressing "action-purpose" in example
(27) can be seen as an example of the interaction between
synammization and subjectivity.
Whether "good" is used in the sentence is closely related to
the strength of semantic correlation between the preceding and
after sentences. From the corpus collected in this paper, the
necessity of using "good" can be divided into three levels. The
following is the selection level from low to high:
I."Good" selection level 1: between the current later sentences, such
as "let, for" and other table purpose words, "good" appear or not,
it will not affect the semantic coherence.Use "good", not only
strengthen "good"
The purpose of the latter, more because of the "good" correlation
role, the action of the first sentence is more closely connected
with the latter purpose, such as for example (25).
II."Good" selection level 2: when there is no "let, do" between the
following sentences, the existence of "good" can show the
correlation before and after.If the purpose relationship between
the front and back sentences is a strong semantic coherence, with
some objectivity, that is, readers agree with the logical
relationship, if "good" is omitted, it does not affect the
64
semantic coherence, for example (26).
III."Good" selection level 3: If the purpose relationship between
before and after is more subjective, "good" must be expressed
through "good" before and after the logical relationship, "good"
selection level is the highest, as for example (27).
From the above levels, although "good" is a cohesion sign, but
its existence purpose is to enhance the coherence of the
discourse.However, when any form has zero form, cohesion is no
exception (Zheng Guiyou
64
Multi-perspective analysis and
Teaching application of Chinese "Good"
Example (28) There are two actions, between action A "Clean the
cabinet in the storeroom" and action B "omit" Put two carpets on the
shop in the storeroom ".Since "I have no place to put the reaction book
to her" once appeared above, the purpose of action A is "to let me put
the book".The listener can deduce the purpose of action A to "let me
put the book".Therefore, the speaker can omit the purpose of the A
action "to let me put the book" does not affect the understanding,
and the continuous action B "two carpets in the storage room", the
purpose of this action is also "let me convenient to get the book".It
can be seen that "good" must take the above action as the premise to
promote the purpose of the above action, that is, the so-called
smooth contact function.
Secondly, the "good" in the reply sentence or sentence group
mainly focuses on the achievement of the subsequent purpose.The
action before "good" is to connect the purpose after "good", which
complies with the principle of focus at the end of the sentence.In
other words, the subsequent purpose of "good" is the main intention
of the speaker.Similarly, the action of "reading harder" in the example
(29) has two goals. Its purpose A "gets more rewards" is contacted "by"
65
with ", while purpose B" adds a sense of achievement "is brought out
by" good ".However, from the whole sentence group, when purpose A
"reward" and purpose B "increase achievement", end B is the (end)
of the sentence focus of the speaker, which can be further
supported by the following corpus of Example (30):
65

In example (31), L uses "good" to stop the current topic and open a
new topic. "Good" is a conversion mark, acting as a bridge between
two topics or two words.Lai (2006) is also supported by the corpus
67
Research on Chinese Language Teaching
The functions proposed by Miracle (1991) and Wang and Tsai (2005),
namely "good" expresses the ending topic, as shown in example (32):
(32) A: You know about the class meeting
tomorrow. Don't forget it!B: Oh, okay.
A: Remember to bring the film to me, too.
B: good.
A: Ok, so that happens first.Break off.(Lai 2006:39-40)
In example (32), the third "good" is that the speaker A wants to
terminate the topic and implies that the conversation is ending
(Lai 2006:39-40); the first and second "good" is the feedback term
of the speaker to go smoothly.The "good" discussed in this section
does not include the "good" of the feedback and response, but also
the "good" of the expression conversion and end function in the
session structure.W a ng & T sai (2005:215-243) pointed out that
the "good" ending or conversion of the table topic has lost the
original word meaning of "good", but its topic ending and
conversion function is still related to its core meaning of "pos
itive evaluation" (pos itive evaluation).
4.4.2 Position of the "good" in the talk wheel
In the literature, the "good" position and its cohesion function
are divided into three categories, namely, the beginning, end and
alternation of the speech theory, which are described as follows.
4.4.2.1 Start with the conversation wheel
"Good" is at the beginning of the speech wheel, the end of the
previous non-discourse stage, and the beginning of implying new
discourse.

4.5 Summary
Previously mentioned as "good" in the complex sentence and
sentence group, it has the functions such as smooth connection,
strengthening semantic coherence and subsequent information focus,
and the paradigm domain affected in the session structure is more
advanced.The connection function of the former is only limited in
sentences (complex sentences and sentence group), while the latter
has entered the larger chapter category, expanding the connection
between topics or speech rounds.
From the perspective of grammarization, the cohesion function
within the "good" sentence and the cross-sentence session function
are respectively derived from two different paths respectively.Both
initially started from the "good" central vocabulary meaning "many
advantages and satisfactory" (conceptual level), through the
transformation of syntactic position, and form a cohesion-oriented
functional words or chapter markers (chapter level).The path of the
former by the concept of "good" level, displacement to verb syntactic
position, provides the basis of its evolution into "easy", and when
"good" into the sentence structure, table "can / to / facilitate"
"purpose" accordingly, formed the "good" in the cohesion function, as
shown in [figure 4]:

The first and second "good" in example (43) are the feedback words
of the receiver in the session to proceed smoothly.In example (44),
"good" in addition to the answer function, but also agrees to the
other partysemanteme 11。
5.2 "Good" context derivative meaning and "consensus criterion"
In interpersonal interaction, "good" can also express different
tone and reflect different response functions in different
context.According to the corpus collected in this article, the
various "good" response functions are summarized below.
5.2.1 "Good" form agree (agree, agree, accept, compromise)
When "good" table "agree", can be with "ah, ah, ah, ah" and so
on12co-occurrence.For example (45) - - (49), no matter which tone of
word "good" is followed, it is closely related to the basic function
of expressing "consent".
(45) Since you want to collect money, well, give money, but at least
open a reasonable price.
(46) Don't thank.As long as you don't hurt, okay."Hua Hui said:"
Well, then you can do it quickly.」 (IBS balanced corpus)
(47) Well ~ well ~ I will take good care of myself!(Google Internet corpus)
(48) Let's eat old ji beef noodles at noon tomorrow, ok?Well!(ditto)
(49) Mom: Don't watch TV anymore!Hurry up for your homework!
Child: Good, good!I know!(ditto)
In example (45), from the "ok" below the "give money", we know that
the "ok" table "agree" to give money.In example (46), "OK" shows "OK"
to "accept" your advice.In example (47), the speaker "agrees" and
"will take good care of yourself".In example (48), the "good"
expression of the recipient "agrees" with the speaker's proposal
11
The pragmatic function of Chinese "good" in conversation is similar to
English OK. For example, Wang Xiaoyan (2007:88) pointed out the
following English example, the speaker expressed the function of
understanding and approval through OK: " OK, w h a t a r e you go i
ng t o s t udy t h e r e?」。
12
"Well" means that the proposition is a clear preset; "ah" table personal
involvement, can agree; "bar" indicates the weakening of the proposition in
the speech, can show the hesitation, retention (Wei Miaochun 2006:60,63).

Example (54) and (55) are begged each other to agree to a request,
the former is asked the other party to give something, the latter is
begged the other party to answer.In example (56), the speaker asks or
persuades the other person to " go!Don't hesitate, "the above" good "
are begged.
For the above discussion, "consent" (agree, agree, accept, and
compromise) should be the most basic pragmatic function of "good",
because it meets the "consensus criterion" in the principle of
politeness.In order to further verify this argument, this paper
collects 200 oral corpus, summarizes and statistics the pragmatic
function of "good" in the dialogue corpus, and classifies statistics
such as [Table 6]:
14
The "good" opposite and opposite here has both the form of "complete
75
speech round" and the function of declaring the voice.Bi Yonge (2009,
private discussion) also believes that the above "good" itself does not
take a negative tone, is still related to "good" center "agree", saying
that the speaker "accept" of a specific situation: "Good, you don't come, I
take you", equivalent to English OK usage: " OK, (g i v e n), I w ill fl
unk you if you don't s ho w up.」....
75
Research on Chinese Language Teaching
Example (57) is not that the sender asks the recipient for the
ability to perform, but asks for help, which expresses the "request"
by "asking".This paper holds that the additional question
sentence (t ag que sti on) in the "good" sentence pattern is
also inferred in the context of the subject
76
15"Good" in the session can sometimes still express "praise", to express
the other side's performance, ideas, suggestions and other advantages,
satisfactory.At this time, "good" is the predicate appears alone, omit
the subject, which is not the "good" discussed at the pragmatic level of
this article.

q 2009, p e rs on a l c o mm un i ca ti on).
76
Multi-perspective analysis and
Teaching application of Chinese "Good"
In example (58), "ok" is still "good", and "ok" in "ok" is for the
other party, but if there is a better context, it can also be an
indirect act of "request".Example (60) shows that the meaning of "ok"
consultation becomes weak, while the function of "request" becomes
strong.It can be seen that "ok" means "consultation" or "request" is
related to the attitude of the speaker: if only in general, "ok"
function is "consultation", if brought into the subjective emotion and
attitude of the speaker, another layer of emotional color is added,
namely the "request" function.On the other hand, "ok" in (61) and (62)
enters another pragmatic function, namely "dissatisfaction": in (61)
"ok" besides asking not to " scare
I ", a more impatient tone, and for example (62)," ok "is" negative ""
depression "and" dissatisfaction "without" consultation "or" request"
the function of.
From the above example, the pragmatic function of "ok" can be
observed, ranging from simple "consultation" to expressing "strong
dissatisfaction".In addition to the "ok" of example (58) is simply

behavior.The above "ok" various indirect language behavior, can also
be conveyed through the "ok" positive rhetorical question way, as

Multi-perspective analysis and
Teaching application of Chinese "Good"
Thus, the emotion of "good or not" should not be limited to the so-called "positive
politeness", but is more inclined to the pragmatic perspective of "speaker input"
(speaker involvement) (Chen Junguang 2009) (perspective)
have sth. to do with.In other words, the use of "good good" can be a
positive "request" or a negative "refutation", which depends on the
context.Therefore, in terms of the pragmatic view of "speaker input",
when the sender uses "ok", whether positive or negative, it is deeper
than "ok" (see the verification of the corpus data below)17。
Shao Jingmin (1996:127) pointed out that the "question" question
is much lighter than "V not V".Therefore, "ok" itself means "request"
more semantic than "ok", and when it derivative "dissatisfaction", its
"dissatisfaction" will is stronger than "ok".According to the
collected corpus of online novels, "ok" is indeed more often used with
eager and eager contexts or words, such as examples (70) and (71)
As shown:
Example (70) of the "good" context shows that the tone of the speaker
is more eager, Mrs.Zhang asked if she can accompany her to see
something, and Jue Xin immediately agreed, Mrs.Zhang also feel happy,
from the attitude, Mrs.Zhang has an eager to see the idea.So, use "
OK

As for why "good" is deeper than "good", it is related to the two
preset (p r e s uppo s iti on) different, this needs to be studied.

Not good " to show its eagerness.A series of questions in example (71)
also shows the speaker's eager desire to learn martial
arts.Therefore, the use of "good or not" is better to show its eager
request.Furthermore, for example (72) - (74)
The term "good" is paired with words expressing "eager expectations",
such as "begging", "begged", "eager desire", "thinking", "playing"
cheating "and" enthusiastic ".

Wang Li (1947 / 2002:171178) proposed that the overlapping methods can
82
be divided into overlapping character method, parallel grammar and
redundant grammar.Plot method for the same two words overlap, often have
exaggerated meaning, for example: "hot, good"; parallel grammar is similar
characters, arranged into opposite forms, example: "left and right";
redundant grammar painting part has one or two words are redundant,
example: "slow style".

From the corpus collected in this article, "good", all appear in the
same kind of context, such as example (90) - (92), "good" said hope to

The concept of "expected value" proposed in this paper is taken from
B i q (1994:87) discussing the evaluation euphemism of "also".
"also" conveys the speaker's inconsistency between the situation
described situation and the original expectation.
20"Quantity amplitude" is unbounded, the expression is diffusion, recessive
and static, and the diffusion characteristics can be reversed by the degree
85
Research on Chinese Language Teaching
There are "fat, very fat, very fat" comparison levels.However, after
the overlap can not use "very" modification, such as "* very fat", "*
very beautiful" and so on are not grammatical.Therefore, this paper
believes that the characteristics that are not "very" modified can be
proved after the state verb overlap: (1) the state verb overlap has
become a dynamic quantity, non-static quantity.(2) The state verb
overlap has become a degree of the quantity.(3) The degree of state
verb overlap is a limit, so "very and very" adverbs can not be used to
enhance the degree, while some overlap can use "somewhat" to modify
the table degree weakening or table euphemism.In other words, state
verbs become a limiting degree of quantitative amplitude after
overlap, which is the basic attribute of state verb overlap.
Overlap when attributive, predicate and complement can be
combined with "something" to reduce the degree or express euphemism
(Liu Yijun 2007:33).However, once the overlap appears in the contrast
context, the amount of enhancement, can not be matched with "a
little", otherwise semantic contradiction.

As can be seen from the table above, the overlap type is more
enhanced in the contrast context and cannot be used with "something",
which accounts for 37% of the total corpus, or a minority.The other
type of state verb overlap, that is, not enhanced, can be matched with
"something", showing its weak or euphemistic attributes, accounting
for 63%.This data shows that the overlapping table quantity is mostly
weakened, and the table increases less through the comparison focus
table quantity. This proportion (37%) is also in line with the use of
"comparison focus", which is the standard (ma rked) usage in the
language, which is a specially emphasized language technique.The
above discussion also indirectly supports the point proposed in this
paper: the "good" overlap is enhanced by comparison.
6.5 Transference of overlapping state verbs
In addition, by the generation of "empathy", we can also find a
relative change in perspective, from objective to subjective.From
the following examples, we can observe a change in the speaker's
perspective:
(95) Yay!Our snowman appeared.Big belly, round head.〔 attribute 〕
(96) Mother is small, those big round watery eyes, often come to
check me.FEST language] (CSIA balanced corpus)
In example (95), the perspective of the speaker describing the
"snowman" changes by empathy, which makes "Da" and "Yuan Yuan" not
only enhanced, but also "anthropomorphic", giving the snowman a lovely
feeling.Example (96) is the child's perspective to the mother, because
the child's feelings for the mother makes "big" and "round" have
additional emotional effects in describing the mother's eyes.When the
overlapping style is displaced by perspective betting, it produces a
semantic weakening, pragmatic intimacy, or anthropomorphic effect, and
"a little +"
"State verbs" can also produce semantic weakening and pragmatic
euphemism effects.However, the difference between them is shown in
[Table 9]:

21The semantics of the word is more solidified, often not the simple addition
of the internal components, such as "cabbage", not "white dish", and the
phrase is analytical, its overall meaning is the addition of the components,
such as "white cloth" is "white cloth" (Shao Jingmin 2007:121)
