本文认为“一定的X”结构中X有表示离散量和连续量两种类型，正是由于该结构的中心词具有的量度特征，使得“一定的X”结构可以用于表量。“一定”将中心词所指对象限制为连续量的某一个区间或离散量的某一个体，整个结构表达一种模糊量。通过与表量结构“一定N的X”进行对比，本文认为“一定”与表示量度特征的名词成分共现，强化了该结构的表量功能。
The paper holds that the core term X of the structure of “Yiding de X” (“一定的”) can be divided into two types of semantic features: continuous quantity and discrete quantity. It is because of the measuring characteristics of the core term of the structure that “Yiding de X” can be used to express quantities. “Yiding” could limit the object of the core term X to an interval of continuous quantity or an individual of discrete quantity, and the whole structure expresses fuzzy semantics. By comparing with the “Yiding N de X” (“一定N的X”), the paper holds that there is a high frequency of co-occurrence between “Yiding” and noun components indicating measuring characteristics, which strengthens the quantity function of the structure.
