A key to better understanding of this syntactic pattern is the back-transformation of abstract nouns to concrete expressions. Depending on the semantic expressions of tw o nominal phrases NP1 and NP2,the construction of NP1 be NP2may be translated into different types of Chinese sentence structure such as ＂shi ＂sentence,sentence w ith transitive verbs or intransitive verbs,sentence w ith adjective predicate and non-subject-sentence.
