日语中的量词浮动（QF）被认为是关系规则（Postal（1976））、非关系规则（Shibatani（1977））或部分关系规则（Inoue（1978），Kuno（1978））。Inoue（1978）和Kitagawa（1980）对QF规则的必要性和可能性提出了更强烈的质疑。QF是部分关系的，但是，因为它可以适用于一些非术语，不能适用于一些不寻常的情况下标记的主题，不完全如此。此外，它似乎受到它所应用的量词的精确性和词序的影响-这是一个令人惊讶的发现，因为除了严格的动词词尾条件外，日语通常被认为具有相对自由的词序。词序限制和QF的明显效果分为QF本身的效果和置乱规则的效果，有助于统一一些看似无关的关于QF的事实。这种分离得到了关于量词解释的论点的有力支持。结果表明，Inoue（1978）对QF的反对是基于日语的一般语序要求，并不具有说服力。Kitagawa（1980）否定QF的论点并不能支持他的论点，相反，支持QF的转换方法。量词浮动（QF）是一个规则，它被提议从（Ia）推导出（Ib）和（Ic）。(1)a.我和你的儿子都不知道我是谁。四个男孩在食堂吃的食物吃了旅游男孩在食堂吃了'。B.我的耳朵不好，我的耳朵不好。C.你的耳朵不知道我是谁。Kuno（1978）指出了这一点。Okutsu（1969，1974），and Linguistics 18（1980），1065-1083.© Mouton Publishers，海牙/版权所有
Quantifier Floating (QF) in Japanese has been claimed to be a relational rule (Postal (1976)), non-relational (Shibatani (1977)), or partially relational (Inoue (1978), Kuno (1978)). The necessary for and, more strongly, the possibility of a rule ofQFhas been questioned by Inoue (1978) and Kitagawa (1980). QF is partially relational, but, since it can apply to some non-terms and cannot apply to some unusually case-marked subjects, not entirely so. Moreover, it appears to be governed by the precision of the quantifier it is applied to and by word order — a surprising finding since, except for a strict verb final condition, Japanese is generally considered to have a relatively free word order. The word order restrictions and separation of the apparent effects of QF into those of QF proper and those of scrambling rules help to unify a number of seemingly unrelated facts about QF. This separation is strongly supported by arguments regarding quantifier interpretation. It is shown that objections raised by Inoue (1978) to the existence ofQF stem from a general word order requirement of Japanese and are not compelling. Arguments in Kitagawa (1980) for denying QF fail to support his contention but, instead, support a transformational approach to QF. Quantifier Floating (QF) is a rule which has been proposed to derive (Ib) and (Ic) from (la).* (1) a.
