Abstract
The objectives of this study aimed to Study and analyze the meaning and syntactic structure of the "有 + VP" construction in the Chinese language, and To study the pragmatic functions of the "有 + VP" construction in the Chinese language. The study collects data from the Beijing Language and Culture University Corpus (BCC), gathering a total of 100 instances of the "有 + VP" construction used in conversational contexts. The results found that the "有 + VP" construction in Chinese has five meanings: 1)Emphasis or reinforcement, 2) Indicating a small amount or quantity, 3) Expressing a completed action or state, 4) Describing an event or action that has occurred, 5) Denoting a continuous or ongoing action. In terms of pragmatic functions, the "有 + VP" construction serves three main purposes: 1) Expressing opinions and evaluations, 2) Conveying emotions, thoughts, and feelings, 3) Informing or indicating expectations. This structure is frequently used in spoken Chinese to emphasize actions.
