Abstract

Basque weak quantifiers optionally agree with the inflected verb in number. This papers’ main aim is to study the dialectal variation shown by this phenomenon. The study will show that it is necessary to differentiate at least three systems: the central-western system, one that we will call the transition system (Lapurdian), and the eastern system (Souletin). The central-western system allows the presence of non-agreeing weak quantifiers in every case-marked position (ergative, dative or absolutive); the transition system does not allow it with ergative case arguments; and the oriental system allows it only with absolutive case arguments. In the latter system, the distribution of non-agreeing quantifiers is identical to that of bare nouns: bare nouns are only possible in those positions where absolutive case is assigned.
量词不一致时:三个系统
巴斯克语弱量词有选择地在数量上与屈折动词一致。本文的主要目的是研究这种现象所表现出的方言变异。这项研究将表明,有必要区分至少三种系统:中西部系统,我们称之为过渡系统(Lapurdian)和东部系统(Souletin)。中西部系统允许在每一个大小写标记的位置(否定、与格或绝对)存在不一致的弱量词;过渡系统不允许它有否定的案例论证;而东方体系只允许绝对案例论证。在后一种系统中,非一致量词的分布与裸名词的分布相同:裸名词只有在赋予绝对格的位置才有可能。
