| Popis | Compound numerals (CNs) are numerals composed of two or more numerals, e.g., hundred three. CNs fall into two classes called additive compound numerals (ACNs; e.g., hundred three = 100+3) and multiplicative compound numerals (MCNc, e.g., three hundred = 3 x 100). There are two main approaches to their analysis. Analysis A (e.g., He 2015) says that CNs form a constituent that quantifies over the noun. Analysis B (e.g., Ionin and Matushansky 2018) says that each numeral independently combines with the expression denoting the counted entity. Our talk investigates the morphology of compound numerals in a sample of 20 diverse languages in order to determine which of these hypotheses is more accurate. |
