a new analysis of numeral classifiers, focusing on Japanese having various kinds of classifiers. It is often said that classifiers agree with quantified nouns, that is, the nouns have to match the semantic requirements of the classifiers. This paper examines their lexical structures and compositional mechanisms. Though Huang and Ahrens (2003

Inoue (1993) mentions that it is difficult to say how many classifiers there are in Japanese in total. However, Downing (1986) claims that 154 Japanese numeral classifiers fit her criteria, and 36 classifiers account for 80% of the usage found in modern Japanese communication. A classifier is attached to the number, and

The semantic structures and system of Japanese numeral classifiers are examined, using the framework of prototype semantics (Coleman & Kay 1981, Fillmore 1982). The analysis is based in part on the results of experimental studies of the acceptability of classifier use for various objects. It is observed that many classifiers, including- wa

Jan 01, 1993 This paper discusses the nature of semantic categories and the organization of a set of lexical items as manifested in Japanese numeral classifiers. A close analysis of Japanese classifier categories is reported, partly on the basis of the results of experiments on the use of selected classifiers. The analysis shows that Japanese classifiers exhibit various kinds of prototype structures

Pamela A. Downing. Numeral Classifier Systems considers the functional significance of the Japanese numeral system, its conclusions based on a corpus of 500 uses of classifier constructions drawn from oral and written Japanese texts. Interestingly, although the Japanese system appears to conform at least superficially to universalistic

classifiers in Japanese in relation to the structure and nature of functional projections above NP. Phenomena and structures in which classifiers do not appear are also taken into account to the extent that their analysis sheds light on the nature of classifiers. In the following section, I will present basic data about the dis

Japanese allows the numeral + classifier combination to appear in a variety of positions in relation to the head noun. This paper argues that it is necessary to posit at least four functional

Focussing mainly on classifiers, Numeral Classifier and Classifier Languages offers a deep investigation of the three major classifier languages: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It provides detailed discussions well supported by empirical evidence and corpus analyses

Jun 27, 2021 The Japanese Macaque is a medium-sized monkey that may be found in a wide range of environments in Japan. The Japanese Macaque is also known as the Snow Monkey because it is commonly found in the country’s colder areas, where heavy snowfall occurs frequently throughout the winter. They are the world’s most northern extant monkey […]

Dec 08, 2016 Abstract. In obligatory classifier languages like Japanese, numerals cannot directly modify nouns without the help of a classifier. It is standardly considered that this is because nouns in obligatory classifier languages have ‘uncountable denotations’, unlike in non-classifier languages like English, and the function of classifiers is to turn such uncountable denotations into something
