Abstract

The word “na X” in mandarin Chinese, which is formed by the combination of the interrogative morpheme na and the adjacent morpheme X, cannot be inferred from its composition, causing serious difficulties in reading comprehension for foreign students. Therefore, it is necessary to find effective ways for foreign students to avoid the use errors. This paper first analyzes the lexicalized performance, lexicalized mechanism, and subjectivization level of na X in detail. Secondly, it puts forward practical suggestions on textbook vocabulary interpretation, teachers’ awareness of scientific research and classroom teaching methods. It is found that the investigation of the lexicalization process of na X in Mandarin not only provides evidence support for the lexicalization of na X, but also contributes to the positive effect of na X in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
