Abstract

Complex features are widely used for lexical description and syntactic analysis in linguistic practice, especially in computational linguistics. The introduction of complex features into Chinese grammar research will benefit both Chinese lexical description and syntactic analysis, consequently Chinese information processing. The paper does a case study of the collocation of 很[hen](very) and a VP with a quantitative complement, which is a topic of long-term concern in Chinese syntactic analysis, and finds a number of grammatical features with syntactic influence. It provides a reference for Chinese lexical description, Chinese syntactic analysis and the rule-based Chinese information processing.
