Drawing on Talmy's analysis of lexicalization patterns (1985, 1991, 2000) and Slobin's “Thinking for Speaking” hypothesis (1991, 1996a, 2000), we examined the linguistic characteristics of habitual descriptions of motion events in Mandarin and found that the structural and discourse characteristics of Mandarin exhibited patterns that were not entirely the same as those of either Satellite-framed languages or Verb-framed languages but showed instead hybrid patterns. The results were in turn applied to a set of properties proposed by Talmy (2005, 2016) for identifying the main verb status in a construction. The analysis reveals that Equipollent framing holds a dominant position in Mandarin.

基于塔尔米对词汇化模式的分析（1985、1991、2000）和斯洛宾的“说话的思维”假设（1991、1996a，2000），我们研究了普通话中动作事件惯常描述的语言学特征，发现其结构和话语普通话的特征表现出的模式与卫星构架语言或动词构架语言不完全相同，而是混合模式。然后将结果应用于Talmy（2005，2016）提出的一组属性，以识别构造中的主要动词状态。分析表明，Equipollent框架在普通话中占据主导地位。
