The Chinese word 奔跑 (bēnpǎo), meaning "to run" or "to sprint", is a typical binomial verb-verb compound formed through paratactic construction. It combines two synonymous or semantically related morphemes: 奔 (bēn), which conveys running with a sense of urgency or haste, and 跑 (pǎo), which denotes the general action of running. Their fusion creates a single, cohesive term that intensifies and enriches the concept, emphasizing sustained, rapid movement more dynamically than either character alone. This compounding method is common in Chinese for forming words with nuanced, emphatic, or broadened meanings.
