Based upon a systematic investigation of the data, this article demonstrates that the appearance of a new structure "numeral + measure + noun" in Late Archaic Chinese does not result from a change in word order as most syntactic studies propose, but rather from semantic restrictions that develop with the evolution of the language. In quantitative expressions, the prenominal or postnominal position of the numeral assumes a distinct function that one must analyze as modifier and predicate respectively.
