Abstract

This paper presents a first study of numeral reduplication in Jordanian Arabic, which uses a syntactic strategy of numeral reduplication not previously recognized in other languages. This involves the reduplication of a numeral implies reduplication of the Noun Phrase (NP) that follows it (Num NP Num NP). Semantically, and at first glance, numeral reduplication mandates distributives readings. We show that numeral reduplication is in fact a marker of pluractionality (event plurality), and the distributive readings are the consequence of separating plural events.

约旦阿拉伯语中作为复数标记的数字重迭

本文首次对约旦阿拉伯语中的数字重迭进行了研究，约旦阿拉伯语中的数字重迭使用了一种句法策略，而这种策略在其他语言中尚未得到认可。这涉及到一个数字的重复意味着后面的名词短语（NP）的重复（Num NP Num NP）。从语义学上看，乍一看，数字重迭规定了分配式读法。我们的研究表明，数字重复实际上是复数性（事件复数性）的标记，而分配读法是分离复数事件的结果。
