以CCL语料库为语料来源,从历时层次、句法分布、产生途径等角度对4种准量词的数量结构进行考察分析,结果发现:"AA"式结构肇端于东汉,在六朝时期快速发展,在晚唐五代成为常见的重叠形式,"一 A 一 A"式于晚清后大量出现,两者产生途径为重叠式扩展;"一 AA"式萌芽于晚唐五代,明清后成员逐渐增多,其产生的方式为插入式扩展;"一·A子"式于元代初见端倪,其发展遵循[A]N+子=[A子]N、[A子]N+[一]M=[一·A子]4的语法形式发展序列,与方言中的"一A·子"是同一语法形式的不同地域变体,两者通过后附缀化扩展生成.4种数量形式的历时发展序列为:AA>一A子≈一AA>一A一A.
Diachronic Evolution of Quantitative Structure of Chinese Quasi-quantifiers
Taking CCL corpus as the source of corpus,the authors investigate and analyze the quantitative structure of four kinds of quasi-classifiers from the perspectives of diachronic level,syntactic distribution and gen-eration path.The results show that the"AA"structure originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty,developed rapidly in the Six Dynasties,and became a common overlapping form in the late Tang and Five Dynasties.The"一A一A"structure appeared in large numbers after the late Qing Dynasty,and the two were generated by overlapping expan-sion.The"一 AA"type sprouted in the late Tang and Five Dynasties,and its members gradually increased after the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The"一·A 子"pattern first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty,and its development follows the grammatical form development sequence of[A]N+子=[A 子]N,[A子]N+[一]M=[一·A子]A.It is a different regional variant of the same grammatical form with the"一A·子"in the dialect,and the two are extended and generated by suffixation.The diachronic development sequence of the four quantitative forms is:AA>一A子≈一AA>一A一A.
