Abstract

Nouns occupy an important position in the category of speech and grammatical system, which is of great theoretical significance and application value to the description and characterization of noun meaning. This paper uses corpus technology to exhaustively analyze 10,000 pieces of "snow" corpus with a total of more than 850,000 words, redescribes the distribution of the meaning items of "snow" in modern Chinese, and applies the theory of Qualia Structure to explain the reasons for the occurrence of each meaning item of "snow".
