Numeral Classifiers in Chinese: The Syntax-Semantics Interface

Xuping Li, "Numeral Classifiers in Chinese: The Syntax-Semantics Interface"
English | ISBN: 3110287633 | 2013 | 309 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This book studies the syntax and semantics of numeral classifiers in Mandarin and other Chinese languages. It explores how Chinese classifiers are semantically interpreted in syntactic contexts and how semantic functions of classifiers are realized at the syntactic level. The book is a contribution to formal Chinese linguistics, and to the understanding of grammatical properties of nominal phrases in Chinese and East Asian languages.
