Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore the meaning and function of an adverb ‘geoui’ and its following elements. ‘Geoui’ requires bounded words to be included in the following predicate. Therefore, the predicate following ‘geoui’ usually consists of a bounded adjective or a telic verb, which is semantically bounded. In addition, the adverb ‘geoui’ involves negative references and contextual boundary especially when it is followed by unbounded adjectives or atelic verbs. In these cases, ‘geoui’ is a degree adverb that designates proximity. On the other hand, ‘geoui’ is used with the quantificational expression in a form of noun, adverb, or determiner. In those cases, ‘geoui’ quantifies the case of the sentence and functions as a frequency adverb.
