초록

This paper proposes a structural analysis of plural expressions. The semantics of bare nouns are same across languages, by being mass. Bare nouns yield group-like readings because they are bare without any division structure in them. -Tul-marked nouns give rise to sum readings because they have individuated structures. -Tul-marked nouns as such differ from -s-marked nouns in English; -tul always yields an interpretation involving distributive quantification whereas -s is blind to the distributive vs. collective distinction. Such a difference turns out to have a root in their structural difference: a -tul-marked noun as a QP while a -s-marked noun as a ClP.

Abstract

This paper proposes a structural analysis of plural expressions. The semantics of bare nouns are same across languages, by being mass. Bare nouns yield group-like readings because they are bare without any division structure in them. -Tul-marked nouns give rise to sum readings because they have individuated structures. -Tul-marked nouns as such differ from -s-marked nouns in English; -tul always yields an interpretation involving distributive quantification whereas -s is blind to the distributive vs. collective distinction. Such a difference turns out to have a root in their structural difference: a -tul-marked noun as a QP while a -s-marked noun as a ClP.
