Abstract

Researches on connotation of AnQuan were research hot spots in safety discipline field and the starting points of development of the discipline. The presupposition that AnQuan is noun was the foundation of those studies. But is this hypothesis really exists? In this paper, research has shown that the part of speech of AnQuan is only adjectives rather than noun in modern Chinese dictionaries. There are many sentences which AnQuan was noun in them and this is the phenomenon of nominalization of predicate element in Chinese. AnQuan was used as noun widely in safety discipline field and that was an example of nominalization of adjectives. A recommendation on revising the parts of speech of AnQuan in the Chinese dictionary was proposed, namely, increasing the interpretation of AnQuan in case of it is noun for the demand of application and research in domestic and facilitating international convenient communication and learning.
