Measure words in Mandarin Chinese #

“Measure words”, commonly referred to as “classifiers” in linguistics, are utilized in conjunction with numbers to denote the quantity of a noun or, on occasion, an action. These terms, measure words, essentially classify or categorize the noun or action under consideration for counting.

How to annotate #

The head of the measure head will be the noun it qualify.
The dependant will be the quantity and/or the determinant

Structures #

- NUM + CLF + NOUN #

- DET + CLF + NOUN #

When a classifier is used without a finite number but with a determinant, it act like in english when we use an indefinite quantifier (some, many, few)
