Abstract:The structure of an adjective being embedded into the phrase of number+quantifier, which becomes the number + adjective + quantifier phrase, is quite common in Chinese. For instance, a large sheet of paper, a large crowd of people, a long piece of iron. Prof. Lu Jianming carried out detailed research about this phenomenon. However, there are still some questions left. Why can adjectives be embeded in the phrase of number and quantifier? What influence does the embedded adjective have on the whole structure? The quantifiers are spatial, substantial and descriptive, so that the adjective can be embedded into the structure. Besides, the semantic orientation of the adjectives brings different expressions to the whole structure.
