According to the perspective of cognitive linguistics, people pay attention to the relevant phenomena, they tend to handle it in a way to maximize relevance. Target image figures have an expression similar to each other that can change the language format. From simple analysis of the use of the numeral classifiers in Japanese, the Japanese people, as to give a priority, the shape of things, life would not mean that you have selected the number and classification of shape is considered, for example:the goods, when counted, we have to consider which to chose according to if they are alive and what their figures are. Also, the Japanese numeral classifiers is weighing other features, while also fulfill the predicate function, only a feature of Chinese o numeral classifiers. The nuances of the Japanese language except when highlighting and contrasting, they are not even used, but rather for the use, numeral classifiers in Chinese are "represents a singular quantity, indefinite signs, individual nouns of, embody, to qualify the noun "in such stations, they are often used. The numeral classifiers in Chinese are not only functions of the attributive modifier, if any Japanese numeral classifiers represents the attributes, they should be used as nouns, which are attributive modifiers, otherwise, both of "attributive modifier" and "continuous modification" can be used, but "continuous modification" is more used.In China, the numeral classifiers are replaced by one measurement, each of the undefined labels operate in terms of conditions of the people-oriented, reflecting a qualified, unless many Japanese use numeral classifiers, details and contrast is emphasized, that is also not used, it is often used.In this paper, from the comparison of Chinese and Japanese, the difference of their numeral classifiers is researched. Before describing the previous research, I describe the definitions and classification of speech numeral classifiers, classification and comparison of the numeral classifiers, contrasting examples of the numeral classifiers organs, other features, and the special phenomenon of numeral classifiers in Japanese and Chinese.In the first chapter, the definitions and classification of speech numeral classifiers are written. The numeral classifiers of Japanese and Chinese are almost the same, because they are changed from nouns and verbs, the kind of the nouns and verbs which change to the numeral classifiers are also the same. Excepting the special numeral classifiers, they are all changed from nouns and verbs.Because the second chapter talks about the classification and comparison of the numeral classifiers between Japanese and Chinese, the study of the comparison of the numeral classifiers, and the feature of organ numeral classifiers’short essay’s grammar are researched and analyzed. In addition, previous studies on the numeral classifiers in Japanese are from Japanese studies, linguistics, cognitive psychology and so on, and they almost have two differences from the research which stands on education.In the third chapter, how to deal with organ numeral classifiers in Japanese literature is talked about. How to use Chinese organ numeral classifiers? Let’s compare the two countries over the verbal behavior in daily life. For example:part of the same meaning and usage, Chinese are used, but Japanese are infrequently used organ numeral classifiers, organ numeral classifiers used in Japanese but isn’t used in Chinese, Chinese and Japanese use greatly different organ numeral classifiers, and organ numeral classifiers only used in Chinese.The fourth chapter is about other features of the numeral classifiers, and the analysis is proceeded. They are positioned in such statements, assortment features, measurement features, rhetorical features, and functionality or alternative features. Which is used in both languages? Which is special in Japanese? What’s more, which is weakening in Chinese language?Chapter5will analyze the behavior of some special organ numeral classifiers. Mainly in whether they are independent or not, whether you can insert a qualifier in the short quantity, or whether changes are caused by the combination of sound and the Numeral complex, not deeply touching the different usage based on things represented by nouns.
