Abstract
This article examines the Taiwanese Mandarin, focusing on two sets of conversion: nouns and verbs. This is important because these two components are the most common parts of speech in the world's language distribution. From the main analysis, we can see that Taiwanese Mandarin verbs produce transitive and intransitive, adjectives and adverbs. And the nouns are transformed into adjectives and quantifiers. In addition, this article also analyzes the lexicalization of Chinese dialect words. There are five types of dialect grouping, but to know which one will remain dominant in the future will requires further study and analysis.
