Usage of 这一?

[tooironic]

I've been reading some academic articles recently and I noticed a grammar usage that I hadn't noticed before:

 

这一目标... ("this aim...")

这一领域... ("this field...")

这一期... ("this period [of time]...")

 

My question is, is 一 considered a 量词 in this context? Or is it something else?

 

Does 这一 follow any kind of pattern, or rule? Are there any common collocations of 这一 (就是说，“这一”有哪些固定搭配？)

 

Also, I wonder if the following constructions would be considered acceptable:

 

这个目标...*

这个领域...*

这个期间...*

 

My feeling is that you could express it that way, but perhaps it would sound informal in an academic context. What do you think?

 

Thanks in advance.

It is just 书面语 with the 量词 omitted.

[tooironic]

Really? But if that were the case, it would follow that the full construction would be 这一个目标、这一个领域、这一个期（间） which sounds weird to me.

[anonymoose]

You are right. That is the full construction.

Ah, I see. I looked on Baidu and it seems like it is a common construction. Strange though how such a structure might have come about. Thanks.

I don't think it is strange. 量词 is a relatively new concept to Chinese. This construction, like many others in the written language, is a vestige of classical Chinese.

Agree with @anonymoose. I would say this is something from ancient Chinese language.
