This paper examines the properties of a verbal classifier in Mandarin Chinese with respect to certain well-identified cross-linguistic properties of pluractionality. Pluractionality (or pluractional) refers to a morpheme that indicates plurality of an event denoted by the verb (phrase). For instance, an event of knocking on the door can be pluralized via a pluractional, and yields an interpretation of event plurality such as multiple occurrences of the event of knocking on the door. This paper proposes that a verbal classifier can be identified as a pluractional building on the properties of a verbal classifier shared with those of pluractional. For example, similar to a pluractional, a defining property of a verbal classifier is that it indicates multiplicity of an event. This paper also identifies an unusual property of a verbal classifier as a pluractionl, namely allowing a numeral, and briefly addresses this issue by assuming a parallel between verbal and nominal pluralization.
Abstract
This paper examines the properties of a verbal classifier in Mandarin Chinese with respect to certain well-identified cross-linguistic properties of pluractionality. Pluractionality (or pluractional) refers to a morpheme that indicates plurality of an event denoted by the verb (phrase). For instance, an event of knocking on the door can be pluralized via a pluractional, and yields an interpretation of event plurality such as multiple occurrences of the event of knocking on the door. This paper proposes that a verbal classifier can be identified as a pluractional building on the properties of a verbal classifier shared with those of pluractional. For example, similar to a pluractional, a defining property of a verbal classifier is that it indicates multiplicity of an event. This paper also identifies an unusual property of a verbal classifier as a pluractionl, namely allowing a numeral, and briefly addresses this issue by assuming a parallel between verbal and nominal pluralization.
