摘要
本文全面探讨形容词的数量特征与其句法行为之关系.分析表明,数量特征是人类范畴化过程中的重要因素之一,它在很大程度上决定了该词语的句法行为.同时也揭示自然语言中蕴含着深刻的数学思想.形容词可以根据其数量语义特征,分为以下四种类型:量级序列型、极限型、百分比型、正负值型,它们各自都有自己独特的句法表现.与此同时,我们也以英语为例比较说明,不同的民族由于认知视点不一样,相同范畴的数量特征也不一样,因而它们的句法表现也有所差异.
This paper systematically addresses the relationship between the quantity properties of adjectives and their syntactic behaviors. Quantity is one of the dispensable factors of human categorization, which to great extent determines the syntactic behavior of the related lexical item. As a result, natural language contains many sophisticated mathematical thoughts. According to their quantity properties, adjectives have been classified into four types: 1) degree words; 2) limit; 3) percent; and 4) positive negative, which differ from one another syntactically. In addition, by using English examples, we have shown that the same semantic categorization might possess different quantity properties due to different angles of cognition and thus could vary syntactically.
