摘要
文章主要讨论汉语方言量词做定语标记的相关问题。都昌赣语材料显示,量词充当定语标记不必以经历冠词化为前提。都昌赣语里的量词没有发展出独立的限定功能,其充当领属定语标记是数词“一”省略的结果。对于量词可单用甚至冠词化了的其他方言来说,量词充当定语标记的环境更加宽松;除了领属结构以外,还可用于标示更多复杂定语(形容词短语、关系小句等)。领属定语和复杂定语都倾向于描写特定的个体,与量词的个体化功能相兼容。
This paper discusses distinct uses of classifiers as attributive markers among Chinese dialects.As demonstrated by Duchang Gan,the grammaticalization of classifiers into quasi-articles is not a prerequisite for them being used as attributive markers.Classifiers in Duchang are interpreted as attributive markers in possessive constructions only if the numeral yi‘one’is omitted.However,in dialects where classifiers are allowed to modify nouns alone or even function as quasi-articles,classifiers work as attributive markers in a wider scope,NP with complicated modifiers and relative clauses included.Both possessive constructions and complex modified constructions tend to describe specific individuals,which are accorded with classifiers in respect of individuation.
