对量词尤其是近代汉语量词的研究，在整个汉语研究中还不够充分。本文以晚清小说《孽海花》为语料来源，从共时层面分析归纳了这个时期量词与名词、动词的选择搭配情况、它们与其他词类的词的组合情况，以及由它们组成的数量结构的句法功能；同时对一些量词的用法流变进行了历时层面的归纳整理和解释分析，以期明确晚清时期量词的发展状况和特点。第一章，引言部分。简要回顾汉语量词理论的研究现状，对论文的研究问题、研究方法以及语料等相关问题予以说明。第二章，主要对《孽海花》中的量词进行整体性的分类研究。首先提出了判定量词的两个标准，接着进行了名量词和动量词的界定；在此基础上再在名量词和动量词的内部进行分类；最后简要概述该书中量词与名词、动词的搭配关系。第三章，主要深入研究《孽海花》中的名量词。包括这些名量词与名词、数词、代词等的组合能力以及名量词与上述词语组成数量结构以后的句法功能。另外总结归纳了书中与现代汉语用法不同的若干量词以及一名多量和一量多名现象，并对通用量词“个”进行了专门的归纳整理，从历时层面揭示出这些量词在这一时期的发展特点。第四章，主要深入研究《孽海花》中的动量词。首先对语料整理过程中发现的一批“疑似动量词”，从语义上进行了词类的判定，明确它们中的哪些用法属于量词范畴；然后同样对含动量词的数量结构进行了句法功能的研究。第五章，结语部分。主要对全文的研究内容进行简要的总结概括，阐明自己的新发现，并指出本研究存在的不足以及需要继续研究的问题。

The study on classifier, especially the classifier in modern Chinese, is not so sufficient. This thesis is based on the classifiers in Nie Hai Hua, which is a novel composed in late Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, the thesis studies these classifiers in synchronic, involving the collocation of the classifier and other words and the syntactic function of the numeral-classifier structure which consists of classifier and other words. On the other hand, the thesis studies these classifiers in diachronic by summarizing and explaining the development of the usage of some classifiers in Nie Hai Hua in order to clarify the condition and characteristic of the development of the classifier in late Qing Dynasty.Chapter Ⅰ is the introduction, mainly introducing the research status of the theory on classifier in Chinese. Moreover, we declare the object and method of the research and the linguistic data.ChapterⅡmainly classifies the classifiers in Nie Hai Hua. Firstly, we differentiate the noun classifier and the verbal classifier; then make a classification in noun classifier and verbal classifier respectively; lastly, briefly describe the collocation between classifier and noun or verb.Character Ⅲ intensively studies the noun classifier in Nie Hai Hua, including the combination of these noun classifiers and other parts of speech, and the syntactic function of the numeral-classifier structure containing noun classifier. we also specially study some particular classifiers and their usages in diachronic so as to reveal the characteristic of their development.Character Ⅳ intensively studies the verbal classifier in Nie Hai Hua. At first, we confirm the classifier quality of a series classifier-like words by semantic analysis. Then similarly we study the syntactic function of the numeral-classifier structure containing verbal classifier.CharacterⅤ is the conclusion, summarizing the study of this thesis, expounding our new discovery and pointing out the deficiency of the study and the problem which need further study.
