在加的夫语法中,数量词组是一个全新的词组类型,数量词组完成语是数量词组的一个主要成分。Fawcett指出,数量词组完成语主要表达比较意义。在此基础上对数量词组完成语进行研究,提出强调完成语和范围完成语两种新的完成语类型。

The finisher is one of the main elements of the quantity group,a new concept in the Cardiff grammar. According to Fawcett,the finisher of the quantity group helps to express the second partial meaning of comparison,the first partial meaning lies in the amount element of the quantity group.Based on the study of the finisher of the quantity group,this paper proposes the other two types of finisher,i.e.the finisher expressing the meaning of emphasis and the finisher expressing the meaning of scope.
