The contributions in this book focus on the typological correlation between the three different strategies for quantification, as well as on some general issues. A better understanding of the quantification strategies in the languages of China will enrich our comprehension of human language and thought. The book is expected to have an impact on the study of linguistic typology, language contact, and patterns of the evolution. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v255. 606 $aChinese language$xQuantifiers 606 $aChinese language$xGrammar 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xQuantifiers 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNumber 606 $aSociolinguistics$zChina 607 $aChina$xLanguages 610 $aChinese Languages. 610 $aGrammaticalization. 610 $aLanguage Contact. 610 $aLinguistic Typology. 610 $aNon-Han Languages. 615 0$aChinese language$xQuantifiers. 615 0$aChinese language$xGrammar. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xQuantifiers. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNumber. 615 0$aSociolinguistics 676 $a495.1/5 701 $aXu$b Dan$0550933 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779722003321 996 $aPlurality and classifiers across languages in China$93680379 997 $aUNINA
