Attributive-center, combination, apposition and subject-predicate are its main structure types. In main literary genres, the distribution of N＋N nominal sentence shows a certain trend of dominant hierarchy： poem﹥drama﹥novel﹥prose. No matter what kind of literary genres, attributive-center structure is the type with maximum quantity, while appositive structure is the type with minimum quantity. Statistical result indicates that most of N＋N nominal sentence is nominal and its use is limited by genres. Function of N＋N nominal sentence is textual. When it comes to discourse, it can be used as theme, rheme and dual identity of theme and rheme based on the theory of Theme-Rheme （T-R） structure pattern. It does not only construct the information structure to deliver textual information, but also its a vital means of discourse cohesion and coherence.展开更多
