由“窠”看量词“窝”的语义发展和语法化历程

The Semantic Development and Grammaticalization Process of the Quantifier “Wo窝” from the Perspective of “Ke窠”

摘要: 量词作为东方语言独有的类型特征，其语法化过程一直是研究者们关注的热点。在汉语词汇史上，古今词“窠”和“窝”都发展出了量词用法，但两个量词的语法意义却同中有异，量词“窝”语法化程度更高，所指事物也更加抽象。本文拟通过历史文献和方言材料，对量词“窝”的主要用法进行溯源和归类，推演其语法化过程。

Abstract: As a unique typological feature of Eastern languages, the grammaticalization process of quantifiers has always been a hot topic of concern for researchers. In the history of Chinese vocabulary, both ancient and modern words “ke” and “wo” have developed quantifier usage, but the grammatical meanings of the two quantifiers are similar but different. The quantifier “wo” has a higher degree of grammaticalization and refers to more abstract things. This article intends to trace and classify the main usage of the quantifier “wo” through historical literature and dialect materials, providing some references for the study of the legalization of quantifiers.
