چکیده

Although the semantic analysis and the grammatical distribution are treated as separate issues in linguistic theories, there is a close interconnection between the two in that the differences in the lexical meanings are often realized at the levels both of the grammatical function and of the lexical collocation. This is the basic assumption utilized when we design and develop Knowledge Base of Modern Chinese Lexical Semantics (XHK). By incorporating the 61, 000 entries and 82,000 semantic items in Modern Chinese Dictionary, it presents a detailed package of the information about the lexical items in Chinese, including the basic meaning, the grammatical meaning, the associative meaning and the detailed descriptions of the behaviors of the lexicon based on the 20-million-word Central Corpus of Modern Chinese of Ministry of Education, for example, word frequency, lexical meaning frequency, and numerous cases where the word is used. The major purposes of this research are three-fold: based on the theoretical findings of the modern grammatical research, to conduct a comprehensive lexical-item-based description of the characteristics of the Chinese lexicon and their collocation patterns; to improve the functions of developing the dynamic semantic rules and retrieving the lexical components; and finally, to establish a fresh and feasible theoretical framework which describes the Chinese lexical semantic knowledge.
