Popis | Based on the cross-linguistic behavior of the numerical expressions `double' and `two-time', we demonstrate that certain NPs give rise to a purely semantic recursion and formulate restrictions under which this effect emerges. The puzzle, we show, lies in that such recursion is neither fed by Merge, nor is it overtly marked. We propose that recursion arises as the only way to circumvent the emergence of an unbound and unrestricted variable. |
