The construction X-lai-X-qu ‘X-come-X-go’ is widely used in modern Mandarin Chinese and it has attracted researchers’ attention because the construction has diverse meanings when various types of words occur in the X position. Previous studies have explored the construction and identified the meaning of this construction as ‘repetition’(Li, 2002; Zeng, 2008; Zhou, 2017; Lu, 2018). Lu (2018), for example, has examined the meaning relatedness between variants of the construction from a cognitive perspective. However, the focus of Lu’s study is limited to meaning extensions of X-lai-X-qu only when verbs take the X positions. Other variants where pronouns, nouns and adjectives occur in the X position have not been adequately addressed. For more comprehensive analysis, this paper examines all the different variants of the construction and analyzes construction X-lai-X-qu from the perspective of cognitive semantics and concludes that they are all related in meanings through metaphor and metonymy.
