Abstract: The relationship between the grammatical function of the word and the frequency of the word is an important aspect of the study of Chinese word meaning attribute.Through the closed test of 258 sensory verbs in modern Chinese,the frequency of each verb in the corpus,as well as the frequency of each words sensory,non sensory,sensory and non sensory usage are investigated.Then,the frequency information of these words and their grammatical attribute information are analyzed to describe and explain the relationship between word frequency and basic functions.The results show that there are different correlations between the semantic attributes of sensory verbs and the grammatical functions of verbs.The particularity of sense verbsmeaning is reflected in its weaker action than common verbs,and its meaning generally contains a stronger description of the state of behavior,which is determined by the particularity of sense activities in human behavior.In addition,the more abundant the clustering features of words are,the smaller the aggregate of words will be,and the higher the similarity between words will be,which will be reflected in the grammatical functions and other aspects.
