Abstract:
This study is dedicated to how adjectives distribute in Altaic, Germanic and
Sino-Tibetan languages based upon the framework ‘scale structure’. The
findings reveal that the acceptability of Mongolian adjectives in resultatives
runs from ‘Totally open-scale AP’ down to ‘Lower closed-scale AP, Upper-closed
scale AP, Totally closed-scale AP’. Japanese adjectives are re-classified into
two types, i.e. open-scale adjective (corresponding to traditional
i-adjective) and closed-scale adjective (corresponding to traditional
na-adjective). Both are capable of rendering an inherent result. The
acceptability of APs in German direct perceptual complements runs from ‘Upper
closed-scale AP/Lower closed-scale AP’ down to ‘Totally closed-scale
AP/Totally open-scale AP’.
English adjectives in perception expression are of no diverse acceptability.
In Chinese, Upper closed-scale APs do not match well with closed-scale
perceptual verbs. The ungrammaticality can be improved by supplying the
expression with a tense or a syntactic context. Lower closed-scale AP does not
seem capable of associating with closed-scale perceptual verbs. A proposal to
treat the intra-linguistic and cross-linguistic variation is put forward, i.e.
(a). Altaic languages appear to be EVENTUALITY-prominent languages. (b).
Chinese and Germanic languages tend to be STATE-prominent.
