The element in between a numeral (Num) and a noun (N) in Chinese, a textbook example of classifier languages, is recognized to be either a numeral classifier (C) or measure word (M). Many linguists, largely formalists, consider C/M converge as a single category, while others, many of them functionalists, claim that C and M diverge and form distinct categories. The stalemate lasted for more than half a century until a breakthrough in Her (2012a), which takes serious the mathematical interpretation of C/M and comes up with the most precise formulation for the C/M distinction.(1) C/M Distinction in Mathematical Terms (Her 2012a:1679)[Num X N] = [[Num × X] N], where X = C iff X =1, otherwise X = M.This multiplication interpretation of [Num C/M] has C/M converge as the multiplicand and diverge in their respective value: C=1, M≠1. Her (2012b) further demonstrates within a formal linguistic framework that the C/M convergence is syntactically encoded as the two belong to the same syntactic category, but their divergence is semantic in nature: C is transparent in being a modifier and not a predicate, but M is opaque and thus a predicate. This view satisfactorily explains why C is redundant and can thus be omitted in the NP but M is not.However, existing empirical studies produce conflicting results. Cui et al (2013) found that the processing of classifiers is similar to that of tool nouns, but not that of numbers and dot arrays. However, the so-called classifiers in the study included lots of Ms. The C/M distinction was not made, nor was the distinction between numerical Ms and non-numerical Ms. Furthermore, they did not control the potential confound of semantic attributes of C/Ms. Such confusions can certainly distort the results of the experiments.The mathematical interpretation of C/M suggests that the numerical C and M1-2 should be similar to numbers in processing than to common nouns. The goal of this project is: 1) to determine whether C/M share the same neural basis with numbers in processing, by replicating the fMRI study in Cui et al (2013) but with better experimental control and selection of stimuli; 2) to further test the mathematical interpretation of C/M in Her (2012a, 2012b). Originally, we planned to use a priming task to investigate the cognitive mechanism underlying C/Ms. However, we could not observe significant priming effect after trying several priming experiments. Consequently, we changed priming task into numerical stroop task, in which participants had to choose the C/M phrase that denotes a larger quantity or has a larger font size. By examining whether C/Ms reflect distance effect and congruity effect as classic number processing, we would like to verify Her`s (2012a, 2012b) theory. The distance effect is a phenomenon that comparing proximate digits is more difficult than comparing remote ones. The congruity effect emerges when congruent pairs lead to facilitation effect whereas incongruent pairs result in interference effect. Our results showed significant distance and congruity effect, supporting Her`s (2012a, 2012b) theory.關聯 執行起迄：2014/08/01~2018/02/28
