The new construction “Zui + N” expresses that the subject fully possesses the
attribute, image or temperament of the noun behind “Zui”. Place nouns and character
nouns are the most common nouns in the “Zui + N” construction. The semantic feature
of nouns is “in addition to conceptual meaning, it also needs to have associative meaning,
which is a typical attribute of the noun indicating object”. Compared with traditional usage,
the syntactic ability of “Zui” in new constructions is enhanced. It has experienced the
change of “less abstract meaning → more abstract meaning” semantically. In pragmatics, it
has gone through the process of “objectivity → less subjectivity”. Economic simplicity, vivid
image and innovation of the “Zui + N” construction make it widely concerned, adopted
and used by people. This is one of the motivations of the grammaticalization, and in turn, it
also accelerates the grammaticalization processes of “Degree Adverb + N”.
