摘要

Using a data-driven method,the present study comparatively analyzed Chinese and English delivery verbs and their variants by theoretically formulating the conceptual content of delivery event,which is shared by all the delivery variants,and the conceptual meanings of specific Chinese and English delivery variants.Delivery events in Chinese and English share the same conceptual content and the corresponding variants in the two languages share the same conceptual meanings;from the major differences between the Chinese and the English delivery variants,i.e.,the quantity of variants and the forms of grammatical expressions in the two languages,we could observe the basic difference between the two languages,that is,Chinese pays more attention to the meaning relative to the grammatical form and English emphasizes the grammatical form of the language.
