The Nominalization of Quantifier Morphemes and the Structural Properties of Nominal-quantifier Compounds
There are great differences of opinion in the academic community about the structural type of noun-quantifier compounds.This paper provides a solution from the perspective of the nominalization of quantifier morphemes,from which the meaning of the quantifier morpheme in noun-quantifier compound words has been nominalized,changing from quantitative meaning to referential meaning.Noun-quantifier compound words belong to attributive compound words.The ways and mechanisms of nominalization of quantifier morphemes are constructional coercion and metonymy.The function and meaning of quantifier morphemes at the lexical level are different from those of quantifiers at the syntactic level.The quantifier morphemes in the lexical structure will be freed from the"quantity"structure,and their meanings will be transferred,gaining a freer lexical position and stronger word-forming ability.The nominalization of quantifier morphemes is only one type of meaning transfer of quantifier morphemes.Noun-quantifier compounds belong to the attributive-predicate compound system,rather than being a special phenomenon outside the system.
