Chapter 6 Conclusion
6.2 Future Research
Based on the result of the investigation on Mandarin verb dài 帶 ‘bring’, there are still some potential issues that are worth for future explorations. First of all, due to that the scope of the study on Mandarin dài 帶 ‘bring’ is only limited to a single lexeme, the possible combination of other lexeme with dài 帶 ‘bring’, such as those V-V compounds as dàiyǒu 帶有, dàiling 帶領, xīdài 攜帶, pèidài 佩帶 or V-R compounds, as dàiqǐ 帶起, dàidòng 帶動, dàihǎo 帶好, are also worth discussing in terms of their semantic frames with respect to their syntactic and semantic behaviors and their comparison with the single lexical verb dài 帶 ‘bring’ in terms of syntax and semantics. Second, since dài 帶 ‘bring’ manifests multi-faceted meanings in nature, it will be interesting to make a synonym study on dài 帶 ‘bring’ with its corresponded synonym forms, such as dài 帶 vs. ling 領 vs. shuài ‘to lead’, dài 帶 vs. xī 攜 vs. xiá 挾
‘to bring with’, or dài 帶 vs. hányǒu 帶有 ‘to be with.’ Last but not the least, the contrast study on the Mandarin bringing verb dài 帶 ‘bring’ with other languages is also an interesting issue to be tackled with for the future study.
