A contrastive study of Chinese nominal classifiers and Spanish quantitative nouns
Abstract
Chinese is a classifier language with nominal ones and verbal ones, while in Spanish there are no classifiers. But it doesn´t mean that the quantity for nouns in Spanish can´t be expressed. Actually, the quantitative noun of Spanish overlaps with the nominal classifier in some functions. So a contrastive study is carried out from a morphological, syntactic, semantic and cognitive perspective.Downloads
