E-mail: fS.Wong,[email protected] ABSTRACT The lexical representation of the Chinese word ` ' has been an issue of on-going debate. The lexical form suggested by Her seemed to provide a complete representation of the different syntactic behaviours of ` ' within a Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) account. However, when applying this representation in conjunction with the argument structure (a-structure) and the lexical mapping theory in LFG, this representation con icts with the lexical mapping theory. This paper examines this problem and proposes a solution to the problem when dealing with the lexical representation of ` '.

He continues that any wording is ought to ...
