摘要/Abstract

量词作为一个特殊的句法成份在语言学界引起了广泛关注.本文在特征核查理论的框架下探讨现代汉语量词的语义属性和句法特点。汉语中量词是一个有别于复数标记“-们”和定指标记的功能词，其主要功能是对名词进行个体化。特征的核查解释了量词的分布和释义，也同时为量词和名词的移位提供了动因。汉语量词与复数标记“-们”和定指标记的关系也可以通过特征核查得到合理的解释。

As a special syntactic item, classifiers has attracted much attention in modern linguistics. This paper explores the semantic properties and syntactic characteristics of Chinese classifiers under the framework of feature-checking. In Chinese, classifiers belong to the functional category which individuate nominal items. They differ from the plural marker ‘-men’ as well as definiteness markers. The feature-checking theory provides a reasonable explanation to the distribution and interpretation of classifier phrases, and as well gives motivation to the movement of classifiers and nouns. The interaction between classifiers and the plural marker ‘-men’ and definitenss markers can also be illustrated by feature checking.
