摘要
量词是日常语言中的基本表达,与本体论和认识论的基本问题相关,尤其与真、与关系、与普遍性、与存在等问题相关。量词是作用于谓词的,因而与专名和谓词形成区别,是比谓词高一个层次的概念。对量词句法和语义的认识,有助于我们更好地认识语言的层次,从而有助于我们不仅可以更好地认识与语言相关的问题,而且可以更好地认识句子的真之条件,以及与本体论和认识论相关的问题。
Quantifiers are popularly used in oral language. Their functions are on predicates, so that they distinguish themselves from names and predicates, as the former are called the second level concepts, while the latter the first level concepts. Quantifiers are important in philosophical research as they are involves in the basic issues of metaphysics, especially in those of truth, relations, universals and existence. But quantifiers in Chinese are very often omitted in expression. This paper shows how the knowledge of quantifier and quantification can help to realize the ways of their working in our language and to have a better understanding of their contributions to the above philosophical issues.
