Abstract

Aiming at the change of part of speech of free quantifiers in the phenomenon of misplacement of quantifiers, this paper proposes that (1) the free quantifiers have the auxiliary part of speech, which is the necessary condition for the misplacement of quantifiers;(2) The magnitude distribution of nominal and associate parts of quantifiers: the associate parts of time, distance and number decrease in turn, while the relative nominal parts increase gradually.
