Abstract

Based on the corpus (Center for Chinese Linguistics PKU corpus), we exhaustively analyze the semantics and syntactic function of quantitative antonymous compounds and morphemes. Through the coordination of two antonymous quantitative morphemes, antonymous compounds can refer to all the attribute values or the superior attribute category with universal quantification. The universal quantification determines the syntactic properties, which shows the bottom-up restriction mechanism. This study provides some references for the teaching Chinese as a foreign language, especially for vocabulary teaching.
