名词与量词组合关系研究说略

Expatiatation on Syntagmatic Regulation Research between Nouns and Classifiers

量词是汉语的一个特色。名词与量词的组合规律究竟是怎样的,一直是倍受争论的问题。本文对名、量词组合关系研究从早期的“三论”到“约定俗成”观念,再到用语义与认知解释的发展过程进行了考察,并对量词今后的研究方向作了前瞻性的分析。基于量词在汉语中的独特地位,量词的运用规律及名、量词组合关系将成为新阶段汉语研究的热点之一。

Classifier is one of the characteristics of Chinese language and people keep debating the regulation between nouns and classifiers since classifier was established as a word class. This paper discusses the developing process from ＂three early statements on classifier＂ to ＂established by usage opinion＂ and then to semantic and cognitive explanations, and forecasts the outlook of the research on classifier.
