Abstract: Quantized event category has the attributes of durativity, motion trajectory and motion mode. This paper, against the quantum view of language, discusses durativity based on Contemporary Mandarin, including different categories and quantum properties in the process of quantization. Durativity refers to stretching patterns of event motion, including (i) Transilient, sudden change of quality with no temporal or spatial extension, such as 死 (sǐ; die); (ii) Repetitive, iterative motion such as 摇摆 (yáobǎi; swing); (iii) Pickup, continuation of what was interrupted, stopped or broken down, as in 继续 (jìxù; continue or keep on); (iv) Collaging, piecing together of different events, related or not related, as in 译注 (yìzhù; translate and annotate); (v) Gradational, change from quantitative to qualitative, e.g. 变成 (biànchéng; become); (vi) Incessant, constant change characterized out of (more than) one of Repetitive, Pickup, Collaging and Gradational specifics, e.g. 收集 (shōují; collect); and (vii) Stative, persistent duration salient in state maintenance but underlain with dynamicality by subjective ascription, e.g. 是 (shì; be). They involve almost all quantum properties and states, such as entanglement, superposition, channeling, transition and collapse, some concealed and some overt, embodying holisticality, complementarity and multiple duality of quantized categories. The attempt may open up a new horizon for studying lexical semantics.
