ABSTRACT

The quantifier has developed most notably in the period of the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties. The nominal measure word, which represents the individual quantifier of the natural unit, is widely used on the basis of preliminary application and enters the stage of full maturity, the verbal measure word is rapidly developed from the bud and has the nature of gradual maturity. The category of quantifier use has been formed, But in the two classifiers, the verbal quantifiers is relatively late and is far less abundant than the noun quantifier, so there has always been a situation of weak study on verbal measure word in the study of measure word. The reason why we choose the verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu is mainly because "Qi Min Yao Shu" is the most complete ancient agricultural science and technology monograph in ancient China, which has great influence. In terms of language style, the oral information is very valuable and rich, while the book is compared with the same period's document literature. At present, although there are some achievements in the study of the quantifier of Qi Min Yao Shu, all of these researches are related to noun quantifier in Qi Min Yao Shu. This paper, based on the traditional lexicology, modern linguistics and the theory of semantics, carries out the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu. From the types of verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu, the representation of verbal quantifiers and the grammatical function of the verbal quantifiers, the article describes the appearance of the verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu, and the development of the verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu as far as possible in combination with the inheritance of verbal quantifiers. From the classification of verbal quantifiers, all kinds of verbal quantifiers of Qi Min Yao Shu appeared, including not only the special verbal quantifiers, but also the borrowed verbal quantifiers. From the inheritance of verbal quantifiers, there are both the verbal quantifiers in ancient times and the new verbal quantifiers in the middle ancient times. Verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu are much richer than those literature of the same period. From the point of the expression of action quantity, the verbal quantifiers expression in Qi Min Yao Shu has "number+verb","verb+number+verbal quantifier","number+verbal quantifier+verb","number+verbal quantifier", "verb+number". In terms of data, the expression "verb+number+verbal quantifier","number+verbal quantifier+verb" are more flourishing than before. We hope to give a comprehensive description of the system of verbal quantifiers in Qi Min Yao Shu and provide some helps for the research of verbal quantifiers.
