略说汉语主观量——以副词“才”、“就”为例

On Chinese “Subjective Quantity”

本文简述了认知意义上的“量”概念,把“主观量”分化成“主观量1”和“主观量2”,并指出:“主观量2”是说话人主观意识中预先设定的,并被认为是合乎情理的一个理想之量,它是“主观量 1”存在的必要前提,亦即“才/就+数量短语”结构出现句中的必备语用条件。

This paper briefly analyzes the concept of “quantity” in the cognitive sense and divides “subjective quantity” into two kinds: “subjective quantity1” and “subjective quantity2”. It also points out that “subjective quantity2” is the ideal quantity that is pre-supposed consciously by the speaker, and also is the premise of the existence of “subjective quantity1”.That is to say “subjective quantity2” is the essential pragmatic condition of the use of the structure “才/就+ phrases of quantity”.
