A The Amount Of B Quantity "format

"A yi classifier B yi classifier" is an active structure in modern Chinese. A and B inthe structure denote any different elements that can enter this structure, and the "classifier"in it refers to measurement words. This thesis gives detailed descriptions on this structurefrom such three aspects as syntactics, semantics and pragmatics.The whole thesis consists of five chapters in addition to the conclusion. The maincontents are as the following:Chapter One is the preface, which introduces the purpose and the significance ofthe research, the scope and contents of the thesis, and summarizes the former studiesand introduces the rationale and sources of corpus.From Chapter Two to Chapter Four, according to "Three Plane" grammatical theory,the thesis discusses the three main characteristics of "A yi classifier B yi classifier"structure from syntactics, semantics and pragmatics aspects. On syntactics, it describesthe class of A,B in the structure, the class of classfiers and the syntatic functions of thestructure, then conducts quantitative analysis on these aspects. We also discusse twospecial "A yi classifier B yi classifier" structures, which are "A yi classifier shi yiclassifier" and "you yi classifier B yi classifier". On semantics, adoping ConstructionGrammar theory, the thesis classifies the structure into three kinds of semantic typesincluding coordination, alternation and genenality; Meanwhile describe the relationshipamong them; We also discusse the semantic referents of "yi classifier" phrases andthe argument role of the structure.Chapter Four discusses the pragmatic characteristics of the structure. The structure hasthe selection of the syllable of A,B and meansurement words: A and B in the structuremostly are monosyllable, while compound measurement words can not enter thestructure; The structure can be used in negative imperative sentences, but seldom usedin other negative sentence-class; The structure also has the selection of style,namely, spoken language ang written language.;The structure shows it's informationfocus through remarked pattern, and fixes it's contrastive focus through special contrastiveformations; The structure has it's continuous usage, according to it's usage, the thesis classifies them into different classes.The conclusion summarizes the whole thesis and proposes some aspects that futureresearchers should focus on and points to the deficiencies of this thesis.
