摘　　要：跨语言的现象揭示,数量表达与有定性范畴之间存在着相互制约的关系。本文从类型学和认知语言学角度,详细考察了汉语普通话以及历史和方言的材料,确立了汉语“数”范畴的表达与其有定性之间的密切关系,并论证了汉语存在着严格而系统的“数”语法范畴。此外,还讨论了汉语指示代词的一系列特殊的句法行为。本文的分析还有助于理解汉语语法的设计原理。It is cross-linguistically true that there is an interaction between ‘number' and ‘definiteness'. With the theoretical frameworks of typology and cognitive linguistics, this paper has investigated diachronic, synchronic and dialectal data, revealing that there is a close correlation between these two grammatical categories in Chinese. It has therefore been argued that Chinese possesses a rigorous and systematic category-‘number' in its grammar, which has to be spelled out when the nominal phrase is definite. Moreover, it has been explained why the demonstrative pronouns of Chinese have certain peculiar behaviors. Also, the present analysis is informative of the designing principle of Chinese grammar.
