A subcategorization of “Measure phrase+de+noun” in the Mandarin Chinese/ JIN Jing.
// Contemporary linnguistics. 2016, Vol.18, No.2. 2016216-232 p. This paper investigates the semantic and syntactic properties of the“measure phrase+de+noun” expression in Mandarin Chinese.Under our analysis, this construction is subcategorized into3 types:the quantificational type,the modification type,and the abstract type.In terms of semantics,the quantificational“measure phrase+de+noun”construction quantifies over an entity domain,the modificational type provides restrictive modification for the associated entity type in terms of certain dimensional category,and the abstract type denotes a well- determined measure result along a dimensional category.In addition to the semantic asymmetries,a series of syntactic discrepancies are detected among the 3 types of “measure phrase+de+noun”.Based on these,this paper develops a trichotomous type,the modification type,and “measure phrase+de+noun”with the quantification type,the modificational type, and the abstract type assumed to correlate with a DP-internal focus phrase,a modifier phrase,and a DP involving predicate inversion in the underlying structure,respectively.The Chinese de performs different cases,which could be a DP-internal focus marker,a modification marker,or a determiner-like element.Under the present analysis,the observed semantic/syntactic distionctions among the 3 types of “measure phrase+de+noun”can be well explained.
