Abstract
The paper will study the structure "verb+numeral+measure(le)" based on the theory of Information Conveying Grammar[1]. Combined with the persuading and question-answering social intercourse contexts,this paper will discuss the following questions: (1)the dynamic types of the structure "verb+ numeral+measure(le)"; (2) Based on the theory of Information Conveying Grammar, this paper will also analyze three information structures of "verb +numeral+measure(le)". They are listed as following: one-level information structure which emphasizes quantity, two-level information structure in which action and quantity cannot be omitted, two-level information structure which emphasizes action and short timing. According to the above analysis, this paper aims at explaining the significant impact of dynamic information structure to the understanding of language forms and meanings. Moreover, Language forms and meanings restrict the information structure of language.
