Attribute nouns are the nouns that confer the attribute of the things and phenomena.[+content] is one of the semantic features of attribute value for attribute nouns.Constrained by [+content],attribute nouns often choose four special syntactic structures as the following:V属性值+是+S主体+的+N属性、S主体+的+N属性+有+V属性值、V属性值+N属性、以+V属性值+为+N属性.The four special syntactic structures can be regarded as different variants of the same syntactic structure in the context because they can be transformed into the syntactic structure of V属性值+是+S主体+的+N属性.Those attribute nouns with the semantic feature of [-content],by contrast,often can't enter the fore syntactic structures.It indicates that special semantic features would choose special syntactic structures.
