汉语量词重叠的认知语法分析

A Cognitive Grammatical Analysis of Classifier Reduplication in Chinese

作为一个多义范畴,量词重叠可以表达"周遍""多"和"连续"三种意义,如何把握三种意义之间的联系是讨论量词重叠的一个重要议题。从认知语法的角度出发,量词重叠是两个相同量词的语义复合,复合得到的一个基本语义为"多重实例"。这一基本语义和句法构式进行互动,可以得到不同的语义解读。

As a polysemous category, classifier reduplication in Mandarin Chinese can express the meanings of universality, multiplicity, and sequential succession, the relationship among which poses a very important issue. From the perspective of Cognitive Grammar, classifier reduplication is a special case of semantic composition where the two component classifiers are identical in terms of both form and meaning. The composite meaning of multiple instances then interacts with different syntactic frames to give rise to the three semantic variants above.
