Partition and Quantity: Numeral Classifiers, Measurement, and
Partitive Constructions in Mandarin Chinese presents an in-depth
investigation into the semantic and syntactic properties of Chinese
classifiers and conducts a comprehensive examination on the use of
different quantity constructions in Chinese. This book echoes a
rapid development in the past decades in Chinese linguistics
research within the generative framework on Chinese classifier
phrases, an area that has emerged as one of the most cutting-edge
themes in the field of Chinese linguistics. The book on the one
hand offers a closer scrutiny on empirical data and revisits some
long-lasting research problems, such as the semantic factor bearing
on the formation of Chinese numeral classifier constructions, the
(non-)licensing of the linker de ( ) in between the numeral
classifier and the noun, and the conditions regulating the use of
pre-classifier adjectives. On the other hand, particular attention
is paid to the issues that have been less studied or gone unnoticed
in previous studies, including a (more) fine-grained
subcategorization of Chinese measurement constructions, the
multiple grammatical roles played by the marker de ( ) in different
numeral classifier constructions, the formation and derivation of
Chinese partitive constructions, etc.
