Abstract

Learning and mastering the basic meaning of the directional complement is an important content of Chinese language learning for native English speakers, and it is also an important basic knowledge for them to learn Chinese well. There exist two reasons why the directional complement is difficult to learn. On the one hand, the grammatical structure is complicated since it is not only necessary to consider whether there is an object behind the verb of the directional complement, but also the position of the object and the directional complement. On the other hand, the semantic relationship is complicated because the directional complement has both basic and extended meanings. As the most basic meaning of directional complement, it is shared by all directional complements. Therefore, we should teach the directional meaning of directional complement.
