As a syntactic-semantic structure unique to Chinese which is complex internally, the result complement is therefore regarded as a difficult and key point in the acquisition and teaching Chinese as a second language. This book builds up an ontological and pedagogical knowledge framework of result complements, and systematically comprehends result complements through 60 questions in four aspects: theory, knowledge, acquisition and teaching practice. Based on the laws of teaching grammar of Chinese as a second language, the characteristics of result complements and the needs of Chinese language teachers at home and abroad, this book follows the principles of practicality, popularity and systematicity, expecting that readers will gain both rational and perceptual understanding of result complements and the teaching of them through this book.
