Abstract:

This book is an interdisciplinary study of English binominal quantitative
constructions based on English-Chinese comparison. Taking three perspectives,
i.e. a functional-typological perspective, a cognitive approach, and a
corpus-based method, it aims to unveil the hidden categorisation process
behind the usage of English binominal quantitative constructions and to reveal
the language universal in cognising the concepts of ‘Quantity’ and ‘Quality’.
It argues against treating Chinese and English as members of two opposing
typological camps concerning quantification modes (‘classifier languages’
versus ‘non-classifier languages’) and advocates to view the two languages as
lying within a more extended and inclusive system, viz. a system of
quantification and categorisation modes, or a Quantity-Quality continuum.
