1. Introduction

This article outlines the development history of the theoretical system of Chinese linguistics over the past century, from the introduction of the Latin grammar framework to the influence of structuralist theory, and then to the introduction of new theories such as generative grammar. The article first reviews grammar books such as "Ma Shi Wen Tong" in the late 19th century that use Latin grammar as a framework, and points out that Li Jinxi's "New Works on Mandarin Grammar" not only inherits Latin grammar, but also introduces an English teaching grammar system. At the beginning of the 20th century, Saussure's general linguistics developed into European and American structuralism, emphasizing the symbolic system and relationships between components of language. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Chinese linguistic community conducted discussions on grammar reform under the influence of structuralism. In the 1950s, the popularization of grammar knowledge and discussions on parts of speech and subject object language issues were also influenced by structuralism. In the 1960s and 1970s, linguistic research in China stagnated, and in the 1970s and 1980s, spring arrived. The works of scholars such as Lv Shuxiang, Xing Fuyi, and Zhu Dexi reflected the influence of structuralism. Subsequently, new theories such as generative grammar and systemic functional grammar were introduced into China, promoting a hundred schools of thought in Chinese linguistic research. The article points out that generative grammar still has an important influence in the Western and Chinese linguistic circles. Through Chinese research issues such as adverbs and sentence ending components, it demonstrates how generative grammar promotes theoretical innovation and development, and looks forward to the future research directions of Chinese linguistics.

2. The development process of generative grammar

Since the publication of Chomsky's "Syntactic Structure" in 1957, Generative Grammar has undergone an evolution from the early stage of transformation generation to the theory of jurisdiction and constraint, and then to the simplest scheme. In the early stages, generative grammar generated deep and surface structures through phrase structure rules and transformation rules, solving the limitations of structuralism and behaviorism, and attracting numerous overseas scholars to study Chinese grammar. However, there are also some obstacles encountered in Chinese language research, such as the analysis of "shi" and "ti", and the syntactic position of sentence ending components. However, some Chinese phenomena such as "ba" sentences, "bei" sentences, and relative clauses are explained through conversion rules, which validates the theory of conversion generative grammar in Chinese.

3. Advantages of Generating Grammar

Deeply explored the development process of generative grammar since its establishment and its profound impact on Chinese linguistic research. The advantage of generative grammar lies in its synchronous development with natural sciences, psychology, and philosophy of language, as well as its continuous ability for self correction and innovation. Generative grammar is always committed to exploring the essence and universal laws of human language, and its theoretical framework and technical means are constantly updated to adapt to new problems. In addition, the simplified process of generating grammar makes it closer to language facts and has natural interdisciplinary research advantages with disciplines such as cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence. Generative grammar excels at integrating small problems into theoretical frameworks to form larger theories, such as the study of Chinese adverbs and sentence ending components.

4. Generative Grammar Theory and Chinese Facts: Challenges and Innovations

The development of generative grammar theory in China has gone through a process from imitation to innovation, and its combination with Chinese language facts continuously promotes the localization and innovation of the theory. When revising theoretical frameworks, one should avoid complete sinicization or complete Europeanization, and instead focus on accurately describing language facts while taking into account the commonalities and individualities of language. In the face of unique language phenomena in Chinese, such as the attribution of adverbs, it is necessary to go beyond traditional classification and use generative grammar mapping theory for more in-depth analysis. For example, words such as "true", "accurate", and "realistic" have unique usage environments and meanings in Chinese and should not be simply classified as adverbs. Through graph theory, these words can be placed at a higher level of sentence function, such as the evaluative phrase level, to reflect the speaker's subjective judgment.

5. Conclusion

Emphasis was placed on the achievements of Chinese linguistics under the influence of different theories, particularly the driving role of generative grammar in the study of Chinese adverbs and sentence end components. It is pointed out that when language phenomena do not match theories, innovative theories should be used to adapt to language facts, rather than simply adapting or giving up. At the same time, with the strengthening of national strength and the development of artificial intelligence, linguistic research needs to describe and analyze grammar details more accurately to guide teaching and AI upgrades. The study of adverbs and sentence ending components demonstrates the compatibility of generative grammar with interface research, graphic theory, and its close connection with pragmatics, discourse, etc., providing broad prospects for interdisciplinary applied research. Linguistics should draw on physics and develop through multiple paths such as theory, experiments, and applications to promote cutting-edge research.
