Abstract

The reason of the transferred designation (TD) of “VP + de” structures which have realized every valence of their verbs in the surface is that such structures may play as frames of “Subject 2 + Predicate” in “Subject 1 + Subject 2 + Predicate”(SSP) structures. What these frames are designating are their beginning Subjects. If there is no Subject 1, then the “VP + de” structure could not be used as TD. According to different syntactic and semantic characteristics of Subject 1, these transferred designations of SSP structures show much difference respectively.
