Features of verbs and interaction between semantic units in Verb Phrase Constructions have been less touched. Based on image schemas and construction grammar theory, this paper investigates se- mantic characteristics of verbs in V + back construction and interaction between verbs and par- ticle back. The findings show: 1) The spatial meaning of back is its central image schema. 2) Back’s meaning in space domain is the cognitive basis for the meaning construction and extension of V + back. “Movement to an earlier place” plays a dominating role in V + back meaning network. 3) There is both lexical coercion and construction coercion. The former is in direct proportion to the frequency of usage of verb. The particle back tends to coerce the construction to produce more extended meanings. The construction may coerce non motion verbs to extend or change meanings.
