This paper argues for the projection of DP for indefinites initiated with yi ‘one’ and indefinites initiated with a classifier in Mandarin Chinese. First, a null numeral for ‘one’ is identified. Second, in yi-initial nominals, an indefinite article is also identified. Third, for classifier-initial indefinites, which have no overt numeral, a head movement of a classifier to D is argued for. Therefore, the head of DP in the language can be realized by either an indefinite article or a raised classifier. No argument is in the structure of a bare Classifier Phrase in the language. The paper supports the idea that numeralless classifier nominals exist because of the availability of null numerals. It also proposes a semantic LF reanalysis approach to the dependency of a classifier-initial nominal on a higher head element in the language.

复数不定式与汉语普通话DP的投射

本文为以yi'one '开头的不定词和以汉语普通话分类器开头的不定词的DP进行了推论。首先，识别“ 1”的空数字。其次，在义-初始标称，也标识不定冠词。第三，对于没有明显数字的分类器初始不定式，有人主张将分类器移至D的头部。因此，可以通过不定冠词或提升的分类器来实现该语言中DP的头。该语言的裸分类词短语结构中没有参数。本文支持这样的想法，即由于存在空数字，因此存在无数字分类器名词。它还提出了一种语义LF重新分析方法，以解决分类器初始标称对语言中较高头元素的依赖性。
