A Study Of Quantifiers In Chinese

The measure word is the important one in Chinese, and also a feature of Chinese vocabulary.At present, there are two main categories of classifier:the classifier of classifier and the momentum word. Some scholars will be involved in the time of the measure of the measure of the name of the classifier, but also some scholars believe that the momentum term.In this paper, the time sense of the classifier is studied, and the temporal meaning of the classifier is used as a small class of the classifier and the momentum word. To tease out the definition of quantifiers, think of quantifiers is used to measure time of single measurement location, itself only said time meaning, relationship between does not represent the time and the action or state, and numerals or numeral combination can be prolonged state after the completion of the duration of an action or action representation.Independent classifiers can be divided into sub categories, according to time semantic expression can be divided into definite quantifiers and refers to the quantifier:press and other words combination relations division can be divided into independent type quantifiers and add type quantifiers.Because when the classifier is adhesive and other words, so need to use a combination of words. Quantifiers in other words and combination, constitute "numeral/quantitative phrase +quantifier" phrases and according to different numerals or numeral phrases for simple phrase, about the amount of quantity phrase and refers to the phrase.After the combination, the phrase can be used as subject, predicate, object, attribute, adverbial and complement, in which the function of the phrase is the important grammatical function of the time quantity phrase.. When the amount of syntactic phrases can bear, subject, predicate and verb as independent, complement and adverbial, has a close relationship with verb, can constitute a "Verb+time phrase" phrase+verb "" phrase+Verb+time phrase "three kinds of structure and negation at that time the phrase structure, and negative words when used, the formation of a structure of time+verb phrase+negation ". that the action for a period of time did not happen, two" Verb+negative word+time phrase "emphasizes the following action takes a short time," the structure of the three word+Verb+time phrase’ semantic constraints by quantifier words before, when the number is" one "or" half ", that action is never achieved, in addition to the numeral said the short time.
