On word order, binding relations, and plurality within Chinese NPs
We provide a semantic account of the free ordering of NP-internal elements in Chinese and argue that this provides evidence for the lack of DP in Chinese. We also extend this account to the Mandarin plural marker –men, tying the definiteness of –men phrases and its number/definiteness interaction to the classifier status of –men and the lack of DP in Chinese. We show that the binding properties...
متن کامل1 Plurality
Although there is striking variation across languages (and even within a single language) in how the plural is formally expressed, it is relatively easy to indicate what plurality is from a morphological point of view: the plural is one of the instances of the inflectional category of number.

متن کاملEncapsulating Plurality
This paper describes the Gaggle, a mechanism for grouping and naming objects in an object-oriented distributed system. Using Gaggles, client objects can access distributed replicated services without regard for the number of objects that provide the service. Gaggles are not themselves a replication mechanism; instead they enable programmers to construct their own replicated distributed services...
متن کاملSimple plurality versus plurality runoff with privately informed voters
This paper compares two voting methods commonly used in presidential elections: simple plurality voting and plurality runoff. In a situation in which a group of voters have common interests but do not agree on which candidate to support due to private information, information aggregation requires them to split their support between their favorite candidates. However, if a group of voters split ...
متن کاملMaximality and Plurality
This paper investigates the notion of the maximality effect and its formal implementation. It will be shown that the maximal witness sets that an anaphor can access are sensitive to the plural readings of the anaphor’s antecedents. It will also be shown that the formal semantics of the maximality effect should not be implemented on the interpretation of either determiners or anaphors. Instead, ...
