The sample corpus involves a typical contrast between semantic\u0000 transparency and discourse reporting. As is revealed by the special wording of ancient Chinese, it should be the fact represented\u0000 by the mixed quotation that serves as the object of the reporting predicate. This leads to objectification of a fact. Hence it can\u0000 be inferred that a specific layer of meaning is picked out by a specific reporting predicate. When this inference is applied to\u0000 the case of direct speech, it follows that some layers of its pragmatic meaning contribute to the semantic meaning of the\u0000 reporting clause by being singled out as the objects of the reporting predicates. Some of them are abstract entities, like rheme\u0000 and illocution. This leads to objectification of an abstract entity. In defense of objectification, we find that the difficulties\u0000 of the compositionality principle (CP) in discourse reporting are caused by the ignorance of the hierarchical structure of\u0000 discourse and the false belief that objects must be concrete entities in the world. Objectification enables the CP to be\u0000 recursively applied from a reported clause to a reporting clause.","PeriodicalId":41020,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43470422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What\u0000 duō ‘much’ modifies is the root of the verb and the root has to move to the light verb position to be\u0000 categorically defined. The quantity adjective duō ‘much’ functions to introduce a measure function which measures\u0000 the event denoted by the verb along the dimension valued by the assignment function A, and the domain to which\u0000 the measure function applies must be monotonic. So, the ‘modification’ relation between the quantity adjective\u0000 duō ‘much’ and its modifyee essentially differs from that between a typical gradable adjective like\u0000 tián ‘sweat’ and its modifyee. This explains how the quantity adjective duō ‘much’ differs\u0000 from the typical adjective in syntax and semantics.","PeriodicalId":41020,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42696559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, they carry the assertive rather than interrogative force; second, they are mainly used to\u0000 refute a claim made by another interlocutor. Given the fact that such a distinction is correlated with the position that\u0000 na ‘where’ occupies in sentence, I propose that when na serves as an interrogative\u0000 wh-phrase, it is nominal and consists of na and an indefinite morpheme concerning location;\u0000 in contrast, when na is a refutatory marker, it is an adjunct, containing an additional negative operator that\u0000 binds a location-associated variable encoded in the indefinite morpheme. The refutatory na further has to move to\u0000 the Spec of ForceP at LF to acquire the illocutionary force. This analysis not only accounts for the syntactic and pragmatic\u0000 properties of the refutatory na, but also supports the claim that Mandarin wh-arguments and\u0000 wh-adjuncts are formed differently.","PeriodicalId":41020,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48099928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Very much in line with Tsai’s\u0000 (2015a, 2015b and 2015d) modal system in Mandarin, it is observed that each type of zuìhǎo can co-occur\u0000 with its matching modal auxiliary in the fashion of Cinque’s (1999) ‘location-in-Spec’\u0000 hypothesis and encodes a certain type of illocutionary force. One persistent question is how zuìhǎo substantiates\u0000 illocutionary force in syntax, while its designated position is not situated in the licensing domain of ForceP. As far as the left\u0000 periphery is concerned, this work argues for a conspiracy between syntax, semantics and pragmatics to ensure the success in\u0000 activating the Bidirectional Agree relation between speech act, force and mood. We argue for a speech act layer (Sa*P) externally\u0000 merging to CP (Speas and Tenny, 2003), whose head values the uninterpretable speech act feature [uSa] on Force0\u0000 via the Bidirectional Agree to trigger its interface with the utterance content (CP). Meanwhile, following Kempchinsky’s (2009) idea, it is further argued in this work that Force0 hosts the\u0000 uninterpretable feature [uW] which has to be checked and valued by the modal construals of\u0000 zuìhǎo to determine the irrealis-realis mood. An immediate implication is that ForceP serves as a gateway to\u0000 not only mood but also speech act at the interface. Several issues involved in dealing with zuìhǎo are\u0000 discussed.","PeriodicalId":41020,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48108205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
