The constructions NP-Vqilai-AP and NP-Vde-AP are commonly used in spoken and written Chinese, which have caught the eyes of many scholars. We focus on the situation that NP is a patient in both constructions, and maintain that the construction NP-Vqilai-AP should be perceived as the middle construction and qilai should be regarded as a verbal functional word with abstract meaning. In the construction NP-Vde-AP, de is the attached to the main verb. The construction NP-Vde-AP tends to express descriptive and consequential meaning and some instances can be viewed as the middle construction to express the internal attributes of the patient.
