Abstract

Syntactic processes trigger changes in the movement-parameter of Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) numeral signs. Though HKSL cardinal numerals by default do not contain movement and are produced in neutral space, under specific circumstances, the movement-parameter can be altered from [∅] to specifications for both path- and hand-internal movement. This creates four types of numerals: (1) event numerals, (2) transfer numerals, (3) conjunction numerals, and (4) list numerals. I analyze the syntactic structures of these four numerals as follows: Firstly, event numerals quantify the number of times an event denoted by V has occurred and in syntax the numeral is located in a FreqP in Spec,VP. Secondly, transfer numerals show transfer of ownership and are within the DP complement of V0. Thirdly, the conjunction numeral indicates that all items of a set are included and the numeral is located within ConjP. Finally, the list numeral is the head of a NumeP with a [list]-feature within DP.
香港手语数字
语法过程引发香港手语数字符号运动参数的变化。虽然HKSL基数数字默认不包含运动,是在中性空间产生的,但在特定情况下,运动参数可以从[∅]改为path-和hand-internal movement的规格。这创建了四种类型的数字:(1)事件数字,(2)传递数字,(3)连接数字,(4)列表数字。我对这四个数字的句法结构分析如下:首先,事件数字量化了用V表示的事件发生的次数,在语法上,数字位于Spec,VP中的一个FreqP中。其次,转让数字表示所有权的转让,并且在V0的DP补内。第三,连词数字表示包含集合中的所有项目,并且该数字位于ConjP中。最后,列表号是DP中带有[list]特性的NumeP的头。
