Title: A Contrast Analysis of the Semantic Valence of Nouns between Chinese and Russian
Abstract: In this article,through making a contrast analysis of the semantic valence of Chinese and Russian nouns based on Valence Theory. We find that the category of the semantic valence of nouns in Russian is not all the same as that in Chinese. The basic reason for this phenomenon is that in Russian there are a large number of gerunds derived from the verbs of high valence,while there is no gerund,a subcategory of noun,in Chinese. In addition,this article also expounds the manifestation of the valence components of nouns.
