Abstract: Abstract This dissertation looks into the linguistic features and usage of Cantonese classifiers in medical description. A classifier is obligatory in a nominal expression when it co-occurs with a number or quantifier and noun. In the medical description, especially in the absence of the quantifiers or numbers, the use of the Cantonese classifiers is highly varied. In this study, Cantonese classifiers 隻 zek3 and 個 go3 were found to be commonly used in the description of body parts and their symptoms in both the questionnaire and clinical observation studies. Concerning the description of the sputum, Cantonese classifiers 篤 duk1 and啖 daam6 were common choices in the questionnaires, and啲 di1 was the most common one used in the clinical setting. Compared with the questionnaire study, classifiers were however much infrequently used in the clinical setting in both the description of discomfort of body parts and sputum. Explanation based on Principle of Economy (PE) of Chomsky's Minimalist Program (MP) (1995) was proposed here. The study of the effect of cognitive factors in the use of Cantonese classifiers in symptom reporting in clinical setting was also conducted, based on the framework of the weak version of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (Allan 2001). In general, the result was inconclusive. Only very few patients did use classifiers to reflect their perception and feelings about their diseases. But further studies are required before denying such possibility. Other discussions include the other semantic features and properties of the Cantonese classifiers舊 gau3,片 pin3啲 di1 and 個 go3, and the potential role of the use of Cantonese classifiers in semantic ambiguity.
