3 Accounting for Chinese Syn-Compounds<br />
3.1 The N-V type<br />
The two issues have to be explained. The first one is how<br />
Chinese Syn-Compounds are nominalised, considering that<br />
there is no ING type nominaliser in Chinese.<br />
Follwoing Borer’s XS model we assume that Chinese roots<br />
are categorised in the relevant syntactic environment. For<br />
example, a root will become A(or ADV)-equivalent when<br />
preceded by hen (very), N-equivalent in [Spec TP] or<br />
complement of V , and V-equivalent in the complement of<br />
little v (or complement of Asp in Borer (2005a,b)) .
