New study reveals how language shapes perception of quantity and certainty.
The article examines how different words in Chinese express different levels of quantity or intensity. It looks at how words like '有+NP' show a vague amount, while phrases like '有X有Y' show a more specific amount. The study also discusses how some words express subjective opinions, like '有點, 有些', while others show more objective facts, like '有的是X'. Additionally, the research explores how certain words indicate uncertainty, like '有+NP', while others show certainty, like '有X那麽A'.
