THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE VERBS INTO SINO-VIETNAMESE NOUNS (VERB → NOUN) FROM A SEMANTIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Based on the previous research results on the transformation of verbs into nouns, combined with the interpretations of the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" and the "Vietnamese Dictionary," this paper mainly explores the phenomenon of the transformation of Chinese verbs into nouns (noun→verb) after they enter Vietnamese. It is found that these Chinese verbs are transformed from words that express the concept of action to words that express the concept of things after entering Vietnamese. The transformation types mainly include the recipient of action, result, object, agent, and things related to the action
