Abstract: Based on some usages of nouns and verbs, two claims, viz."Chinese as a Language of Nouns Including Verbs" and "Chinese as a Language of Spatiality", have been made over the past decade. Having delineated the universality of linguistic values, grammatical weight, semantic attributes as well as cognitive properties of nouns and verbs, the author points out in this particle that (ⅰ) the two categories have the same grammatical weight in the configuration of a grammatical sentence, and there is thus no such distinction between nucleus and periphery; (ⅱ) referentiality is essentially specific to nouns, whereas predication is particular to verbs and adjectives; it is therefore a false claim that all predicates are also referential expressions; (ⅲ) the two claims, viz. "Chinese as a Language of Spatiality and English as a Language of Temporality", are the results of mistaking usage for grammar and also the outcomes of selective perception, on the ground that they only select some evidence supporting their claims while neglecting the abundant counterevidence.
