| Classifier reduplication AA form is a linguistic phenomenon that makes a classifier appear repeatedly.Its form can express specific lexical and grammatical functions,which is consistent with Goldberg?s construction idea.Previous related studies mainly from the perspective of morpheme-based morphology studied classifier reduplication AA form?s form and semantics.However,morpheme-based morphology theory fails to explain the change of lexical and grammatical function of classifier reduplication AA form after reduplication,which causes the disputes,that is,is the classifier reduplication AA form syntactic reduplication or morphological reduplication? If the classifier reduplication AA form is syntactic reduplication,but there is no concrete connection with it.Morphological reduplication generally has the grammatical function,but classifier reduplication AA form has not only grammatical function but also lexical function.Only from the perspective of Construction Morphology based on words,regard the classifier reduplication AA as a lexical construction,the changes in lexical and grammatical functions caused by the reduplication can be explained and a new understanding of classifier reduplication AA form can be introduced.In this paper,from the perspective of Construction Morphology,we study the classifier reduplication AA form.It mainly discusses two questions: 1.From the perspective of Construction Morphology,what is the change in the grammatical and lexical functions of the classifier reduplication AA form? 2.According to Construction Morphology,how to explain the nature of classifier reduplication AA form?According to Mao Zhiping?s(2019)definition of the strong cross-class general classifier,we selected four strong cross-class general classifiers ge(个),tiao(条),zhi(只),and kuai(块).This paper collected 256 examples of related classifier reduplication AA form from the Corpus of Beijing Language and Culture University(BCC).After removing the non-conforming data such as language disorders,144 cases were left.There are 83 cases of classifier ge(个),accounting for about 58% of the total data.There were 37 cases of classifier tiao(条),accounting for about 26% of the total data.The classifier zhi(只)was found in 15 cases,accounting for about 10%of all data.There were 9 cases of classifier kuai(块),accounting for about 6% of the total data.The research findings of this paper are as follows: 1.Through the analysis of the classifier reduplication AA form,it can be concluded that the classifier reduplication AA form is independent after reduplication.The function of the classifier is transformed into the noun or pronoun function after reduplication.The classifier reduplication AA form obtains the usage of the noun and pronoun and it can be used as the subject in the sentence after reduplication.The function of modifying the number of noun is changed to the function of “everything in a scope” or “one by one”after reduplication.2.This paper holds that the classifier reduplication AA form is a lexical construction.Construction morphology shows the relationship between form and meaning of the classifier reduplication AA form through cognitive schema and expresses the lexical and grammatical functions of this construction.Any classifier entering this construction will have the same function,but there are differences in the degree of generality and frequency of use.Therefore,it can not be mechanically divided by syntactic reduplication or morphological reduplication but should be understood as a whole.Based on the theory of Construction Morphology,this paper studies the lexical and grammatical functions of the classifier reduplication AA form.On the one hand,applying Construction Morphology to Chinese lexical analysis broadens the scope of application of Construction Morphology.On the other hand,it provides a new explanation for the change of function of classifier reduplication AA form after reduplication,which helps to avoid the previous controversies and enrich the study of classifier reduplication AA form. |
