When defining the scope of Chinese Middle Construction, we could not completely refer to the criteria of the English Middle Construction. This paper further describes the action chain of the Middle Construction with detailed insight. The Study shows: 1) the Middle Event is composed of two events: "transitive event with energy transmission" and "event which shows property", and 2) the property of the subject resists (or facilitate) the behavior of the implied agent that the property of the subject is profiled. Those could be unique features of the Middle Construction. Then the features are used to analyze the Chinese Middle Construction. After analysis, the B type of the structure "NP+V 起来+AP" which centers on "V 起来 ”, and the structure "NP+能/能够/可以+VP" could accord with the features listed above, thus this paper defines those as the Chinese Middle Construction.}, pages = {251--265}, title = {現代中国語における中間構文の範疇に関する一考察 : アクション・チェインに基づいて}, volume = {4}, year = {2021} }
