title = "A study on the third interpretation of {\textquoteleft}V+ Duration Phrase{\textquoteright} in Chinese from the perspective of qualia structure",
abstract = "Duration Phrase (i.e. shifenzhong {\textquoteleft}ten minutes{\textquoteright}, santian {\textquoteleft}three days{\textquoteright}) in “V + Duration Phrase” normally refers to a duration of a certain action or duration since the completion of an event in Chinese. In this article, a less-discussed third interpretation of “V + Duration Phrase” has been put forward to discuss, which refers to the duration of a span (i.e. shelf life of a cake), with the action of the verb being discontinuous in the whole process. It is pointed out that the V in this third reading of “V + Duration Phrase” is not fully lexical, and can be substituted by a semi-lexical verb yong {\textquoteleft}use{\textquoteright} or a light verb as USE. In line with the qualia structure analysis under the framework of generative lexicon theory, this semi-lexical/light verb is found to function as a Telic role of an involved noun of the sentence.",
