Study On The Classifier In "The Records Of Officialdom Exposure"

"The Records of Officialdom Exposure" is one of the vernacular novels of the late Qing dynasty, It was completed during the time when Chinese classifier development was in its complete period. So it plays an important role that connects the past with the future. The description of the contents is close to the social reality in every aspect and it is of a higher degree of spoken language, both of which largely reflected the language appearances of that time. Therefore, the study of modern Chinese classifier is of great significance. This article focuses on describing classification, the composite capability and structure function of the classifier in "the Records of Officialdom Exposure" and have a sorting of the overall appearance of the classifier.Chapterâ… , Introduction. First, an overview of previous studies on the classifier, confirm the value and feasibility. Second, introduce the previous research achievements of "The Records of Officialdom Exposure" and explain the topic significance and research methods. Third, definite the classifier, distinguish the words which may be easily mistaken for classifier, establish the definition standard of classifier, on the basis, sort the relevant classifier.Second and third chapters are about the Verbal Classifiers and the Nominal Classifiers. These two chapters respectively have an exhaustive description and quantity statistics on both. To facilitate the classification, in the process, classify the words of similar meanings into a group of classifiers. Figures "x" in parentheses after each classifier represents the classifier occurrence frequency in "The Records of Officialdom Exposure".Partâ…£is about the structure and function of the classifier in "the Records of Officialdom Exposure", First describe several composite styles of classifier's structure, and then introduce the syntactic function of the classifier structure. Syntactic function can be sorted when it serves as subject, object, complement, adverbial, etc. And most of the examples are of typical usages.Chapterâ…¤A Comparative Study of Classifiers. In this article, we shall compare the classifier in "the Records of Officialdom Exposure" and the "Journey to the West", "Modern Chinese Classifiers Handbook" to explore the microscopic changes rules.Chapterâ…¥Conclusion. Summarize the classifier features in "The Records of Officialdom Exposure".
