Abstract
Based on the data of “Modern Chinese Dictionary” and Media Language Corpus of Communication University of China, and according to the position of “AA-type adjectives” in the whole collocation, the 104 “AA-type adjectives” studied in this paper can be divided into three categories. They are post-positioning, pre-positioning, and the unlocated respectively. This paper focuses on the syntactic features of “AA-type adjectives and their collocations”, the five types of their expressions, and the comparative analysis of the internal structural relationships of the five collocation types, with a view to provide ideas and clues to the semantic study of “AA-type adjectives and their collocations” and second language teaching.

Notes
- 1.
Removing the 87 none results and irrelevant results in MLC (name of person or different pronunciation) is 144; these 144 AA adjectives have examples, but some appear fewer, such as: changchang 怅怅 (2), huanghuang 皇皇 (12), etc., so such AA-type adjectives with less frequency need to be excluded.
