摘要: 现代汉语在句法上没有“主谓/谓宾一致性”的强制要求,但在语义上有此要求,即“数的一致性假设”:必有论元和事件论元在数上须一致,可有论元不能少于必有论元。为了证明以上假设的普遍适用性,需要对“数”重新考察:区分实体参与事件的内部方式和外部方式,在此基础上进一步细分事件类型;以根据事件类型确定的“最小量”为参照点确定名词性成分的数值,并对“数的一致性假设”进行反证。

关键词: 数的一致性, 最小量, 实体参与事件方式

Abstract: Although the Chinese language lacks of certain syntactic conditions, the maintaining of agreement in number among an event’s arguments is also necessary in semantics. There must be the same performance for event arguments and obligatory arguments. The dispensable arguments must not have less number entities than the obligatory ones. The explanation of its mechanism needs a way of an entity’s participation in an event. It should be divided into two aspects: an internal way that involves an integral event or a gradual event, and external way that involves events of the same time or events of different times. The way of an entity’s participation proves the generality of the hypothesis of agreement in number.

Key words: agreement in number, minimal quantity, way of an entity&rsquo, s participation in an event
