摘要

This paper proposes an analysis of the Motion-Directional Construction(MDC) in the Chinese language in the Conceptual-Cognitive approach as outlined by Jackendoff and Langacker. It provides further conceptual support and evidence for the position that the MDC in Chinese consists of syntactic and semantic subordination, and that by means of case study, it posits that motion verbs in Chinese typically express manners of movement.
