DESCRIPTION:In Mandarin Chinese\, verbs (kan `look’) can be reduplicated 
 (kan-kan `look-look’) to express a delimitative aspectual meaning\, name
 ly that the event denoted by the verb happens in a short duration and/or
  a low frequency (kan-kan `look a little bit'). The current study tries 
 to determine a suitable formal and unified analysis for the structure of
  verbal reduplication in Mandarin Chinese. I show that the analysis of t
 he reduplicant as a verbal classifier seems inappropriate due to their d
 ifference in behaviours. Some generative analyses assume the reduplicant
  to be an aspect affix. But a construction-based approach seems to be mo
 re suitable than a generative one\, because it deals with the semantical
 ly empty phonological element yi better and provides an account for the 
 phonology\, as well. Finally\, I propose a Head-Driven Phrase Structure 
 (HPSG) analysis for the verbal reduplication in Mandarin Chinese. I mode
 l the change of the semantics via lexical rule and proposed a type hiera
 rchy for the lexical rules to account for the variations in the phonolog
 y.
