本章对日语中的复数标记用语素-TATI进行了描述性概括,并对其在许多方面令人困惑的分布和解释特性进行了解释。-他地复数的语义特点,如趋向确定、缺乏类属和善意的解释等,都是由于-他地用作联想复数标记而产生的。当-Tati附加到个体表示的表达式时,它表示由该表达式的所指对象和与之相关联的实体组成的复数。有人认为,-Tati即使与普通名词组合在一起,也能保持这种联想意义。扩展的关联性概念允许X-Tati(其中X是一个常见名词)在其表示中包括非X-X,只要这些实体与X密切相关,就会产生相似复数。这种潜在的异质性可以解决-Tati复数构成的大部分(如果不是全部)谜题。
This chapter presents descriptive generalizations of plural marking in Japanese with the morpheme -tati and proposes an account for its distributional and interpretive properties that are puzzling in many ways. The semantic peculiarities of -tati plurals, such as their tendency to be definite and the lack of generic and kind interpretations, result from the use of -tati as an associative plural marker. When -tati attaches to an individual-denoting expression, it denotes a plurality that consists of the referent of the expression and entities associated with. It is argued that -tati maintains this associative meaning even when it combines with a common noun. The extended notion of associativity allows X-tati, where X is a common noun, to include non-Xs in its denotation as long as such entities are closely associated with X, yielding similative plurals. This potential heterogeneity can solve most, if not all, of the puzzles posed by -tati plurals.
