... We argue, however, that there is a fundamental difference between achievement and accomplishment verbs on the one hand and RCV on the other. In addition to what previous studies (Petrovčič, 2009;Xiao & McEnery, 2004) have shared on this topic, namely distinguishing between the two verb types by using them as the complement of stop, which sounds normal with accomplishments but odd with achievements, and that RCV do not function in the same way as accomplishment and achievement verbs because RCV are incompatible with imperfective markers zai and -zhe, while the use of the two markers for accomplishment and achievement verbs, followed by the perfective marker le, is perfectly grammatical, our empirical research has shown that there is a fundamental difference in the degree of completeness expressed by activities and accomplishments or achievements.

The contribution of this article is a comparative analysis of available studies by authoritative linguists, based on which we have formulated a new and more comprehensive proposal that will help classify verb types in unrelated languages, and can be further exploited in the field of applied linguistic research.

The paper deals with corpus analysis of negation in Chinese, namely the negatives bù 不 and méi/ méiyǒu没/没有. The adverbs BU and MEI are two of the most frequent negatives in Chinese. The aim of this study is to present statistical data together with linguistics analysis. The results provide empirical evidence of discrepancy between “authentic” language data versus linguistic prescription with practical implications for second-language acquisition. The findings inter alia suggest a new approach to verb categorisation.
