ABSTRACT

‘多’ means ‘beyond that number’ after the number. We will analyze ‘numeral+多+Classifier+noun’ and ‘numeral+Classifier+多+noun’. We will identify the causes of Correct sentence and Wrong sentence through cognitive linguistic principles. Conceptually, if there is a lower-order digit, it is a correct sentence. Conceptually, if there are no lower-order digits, it is Wrong sentence. According to the above principle, the questions raised in the introduction can be easily answered. First, What is the cause of ‘十多个国家’ is a correct sentence. What is the cause of ‘七多个国家’ being a incorrect sentence? ‘十’ is because there are lower-order digits. So ‘十多个国家’ is a correct sentence. But ‘七’ does not have a lower-order digits. So ‘七多个国家’ is a incorrect sentence. Second, What is the cause of ‘一个多小时’ and ‘十个多小时’ is a correct sentence. What is the cause of ‘七个多国家’ and ‘十个多国家’ being a incorrect sentence? ‘小时’ is because there are lower-order digits. So ‘一个多小时’ and ‘十个多小时’ is a correct sentence. But ‘国家’ does not have a lower-order digits. So ‘七个多国家’ and ‘十个多国家’ is a incorrect sentence. Third, What is the cause of ‘吃了三块多蛋糕’ is a correct sentence. What is the cause of ‘买了三块多蛋糕’ being a incorrect sentence? ‘Eat a cake’ is because there are lower-order digits. So ‘吃了三块多蛋糕’ is a correct sentence. But ‘buy a cake’ does not have a lower-order digits. So ‘买了三块多蛋糕’ is a incorrect sentence.
