內容簡介🎰：
In this talk I first briefly review the long research tradition on the grammar of measurement, and how new understanding on the classic issues such as the count-mass distinction, the comparison constructions, the semantics and syntax of the measure phrases, etc.is developed in the light of measurement. I then demonstrate how the measurement perspective sheds new light on some long-standing issues in Chinese linguistics, esp. the semantic nature of classifiers. There are many pros and cons as for whether the classifier system in Chinese is reflective of the count-mass distinction or not. Assuming that the most fundamental meaning of measurement is represented by a structure-preserving homomorphism from one structured domain that is defined by the part-of relation to another structured domain, I show some of the most intricate and fiercely debated data (e.g., pre-classifier adjectival modification (e.g., *san da weilaoshi ‘three big CL teacher’ vs. san da tiaoyu ‘three big CL fish’ and de-insertion between classifiers and nouns (e.g., *san ge de ren ‘three CL de person’ vs. san tong de shui ‘three M-bucket de water’ ) can not only be better treated, but also turn out to be surprisingly uniform, i.e., they display some universal pattern which is reflective of how the grammar of measurement is operative. A relatively straightforward extension of the measurement-based analysis to comparison constructions such as the differential verbal comparatives (DVCs) indicates that some deep and universal mechanism is at play beneath a number of seemingly unrelated constructions across categories and across languages.
