dc.description.abstract (摘要) | It is controversial whether a classifier (C) or measure word (M) in Chinese forms a constituent first with Num (numeral) or N in a [Num C/M N] phrase. This paper reviews evidence for the [Num C/M] constituency from modern Chinese and then provides evidence from historical and typological perspectives. Under the [Num C/M] constituency, not only the C/M word orders attested in Chinese history, but also all those attested elsewhere, can be straightforwardly accounted for by the head parameter, while such simplicity is unattainable under the [C/M N] constituency. In addition, fresh evidence is obtained from the internal word order within a complex numeral; e.g., san-shi ‘30’ is base-final, with n (3) and base (10) entering into a multiplicative function, 3×10. The same multiplicative function exists between Num and C/M, e.g., san-duo hua ‘3 C flower’ = 3×1 flower, and san-da hua ‘3 dozen flower’ = 3×12 flower. C/M and bases are thus unified as multiplicands, an insight further supported by the consistent correlation between the base-final order and the C/M-final order throughout the history of Chinese. A closer examination of the 103 classifier languages in Greenberg (1990[1978]) further reveals that, among the 52 languages whose numeral systems and C/M word orders can be obtained, the synchronization between the numeral base and C/M is nearly universal. The base-C/M unification as multiplicands and base-C/M synchronization in word order strongly suggest that Num and C/M form a single constituent. 分類詞(C)與量詞(M)究竟是先與數詞(Num)結合形成短語 [Num C/M],還是先與名詞(N)形成短語 [C/M N],一直存有爭議。本文首先簡要回顧現代漢語中的證據,接著從歷史與型態學的角度提出兩種新的證據,論證 [Num C/M] 先形成短語。第一種證據來自數詞中的乘法結構,如「三十」乃 3×10,同樣的乘法結構存在於Num 與C/M 之間,如「三打」乃 3×12,可見C/M 與位數詞(base)的功能相同,都是被乘數(multiplicand)。在漢語三千多年的文字歷史裡,數詞從來都是位數在後(base-final),如「三十」、「三百」,同樣的Num 與C/M 之間也從來都是「C/M 在後」(C/M-final)。我們根據Greenberg (1990[1978]) 找出了52 個語言,發現其C/M 與位數(base)的詞序極為一致。這顯示了「三打」與「三十」一樣形成短語。第二種證據來自C/M 詞序在型態學上的四種變異:在 [Num C/M] 形成短語的假設下,不僅是漢語歷史發展中的C/M 詞序,而是所有分類詞語言中的四種詞序,都可以直接的由中心語參數(head parameter)得到解釋。 | |
