Guojun Zhao · Journal of Yangtze Normal University · 2010
The Chinese construction 越 A 越 B can be described and explained from the perspective of quantity category and quantity changes.It expresses the relation of relied changes of two quantities,i.e.the quantity value indicated by B changes according to that indicated by A.However,there is asymmetry between the two quantity types of A and B,and what’s more,both the changes of these two quantity values get bigger no matter whether A and B are of positive or negative form.
