关于副词“才”的数量预期问题探析
An Analysis on the Quantitative Expectation of Adverb “CAI”

副词“才”的使用频率非常高，其语法意义也比较复杂。汉语学界关于副词“才”用法的研究成果颇多。本文针对其中的一种用法——副词“才”和数量成分共现的情况，立足于几种常见格式，分析了副词“才”在这类结构中对于数量预期表达的作用，认为副词“才”和数量成分之间的位置关系往往会决定说话人表达的数量预期特点，这体现了认知语言学的“象似原则”，也进一步说明了句法和语义的制约关系。
The adverb “CAI” has a very high frequency of use, and its grammatical meaning is more complex. There are a lot of research results on the usage of the adverb “CAI” in the Chinese academic circle. In view of the co-occurrence of the adverb “CAI” and the quantitative component, this paper analyzes the role of the adverb “CAI” in the quantitative anticipation expression based on several common formats, and holds that the position relationship between the adverb “CAI” and the quantitative component often determines the quantitative anticipation characteristics of the speaker’s expression, which reflects the “iconicity principle” of cognitive linguistics. The restrictive relationship between syntax and semantics is further explained.
