摘要

[di+Num+Cl+N]形式的汉语序数结构在定构和不定构之间存在歧义。语素di在DP的前面，顺序表达的两种解读可归因于语素di的词汇歧义。一方面，如果事件只实现一次，并且在一个空间中有一组有序的对象，在这个空间中，句子的上下文可以验证序数短语的外延所假定的指称存在，那么di就是一个产生确定阅读的[+强]限定词。另一方面，如果事件不止一次发生，那么在单个空间中就不存在这样一个有序的对象集合，并且句子的上下文不能验证序数短语的外延所假定的指称存在，那么di是一个具有加性功能的[-强]限定词，并导致无定数阅读。

On Chinese Ordinal Constructions

A Chinese ordinal construction in the form [di+Num+Cl+N] is ambiguous between a definite construal and an indefinite quantity construal. The morpheme di heads a DP, and the two readings of the ordinal expression can be attributed to the lexical ambiguity of the morpheme di. On the one hand, if the event is realized once, and there is an ordered set of objects in a single space within which the context of a sentence can verify a presupposed referential existence for the denotation of ordinal phrases, di is a [+strong] determiner giving rise to a definite reading. On the other hand, if the event is carried out more than once, no such an ordered set of objects is present in a single space, and the context of a sentence cannot verify a presupposed referential existence for the denotation of ordinal phrases, di is a [-strong] determiner with an additive function and results in an indefinite quantity reading.

期刊介绍： Taiwan Journal of Linguistics is an international journal dedicated to the publication of research papers in linguistics and welcomes contributions in all areas of the scientific study of language. Contributions may be submitted from all countries and are accepted all year round. The language of publication is English. There are no restrictions on regular submission; however, manuscripts simultaneously submitted to other publications cannot be accepted. TJL adheres to a strict standard of double-blind reviews to minimize biases that might be caused by knowledge of the author’s gender, culture, or standing within the professional community. Once a manuscript is determined as potentially suitable for the journal after an initial screening by the editor, all information that may identify the author is removed, and copies are sent to at least two qualified reviewers. The selection of reviewers is based purely on professional considerations and their identity will be kept strictly confidential by TJL. All feedback from the reviewers, except such comments as may be specifically referred to the attention of the editor, is faithfully relayed to the authors to assist them in improving their work, regardless of whether the paper is to be accepted, accepted upon minor revision, revised and resubmitted, or rejected.
