Abstract

The word "dú" in modern Chinese and its English counterpart "read" are common core verbs in both languages. The semantic precision of "read" in English dictionaries is four times that of "dú" in Chinese dictionaries. It can be inferred that the Chinese dictionaries have omitted some meanings of "dú". This paper, combined with corpus technology, exhaustively analyzes 10000 treaties the "read" corpus which contain about 1.18 million words, and re describes the meaning distribution of "dú" in modern Chinese. At the same time, it uses the argument structure theory to explain the reasons for the formation of the meanings of "dú" and the derivative relationship between them by analyzing the changes of arguments.
