While there is much prior linguistic literature on numerals, this literature has not considered the internal composition of complex cardinals: the tacit assumption has been that any syntactic or semantic account that captures the behavior of a simplex cardinal such as five automatically transfers to a complex cardinal such as five hundred or five thousand and forty-six. We show that this assumption is unwarranted, and propose a compositional semantic analysis of complex cardinals. This book considers a wide range of issues in the syntax and semantics of cardinals, investigates a wide variety of languages which use different syntactic structures for complex cardinals, and examines related phenomena, including modified numerals, measure nouns, and fractions. The ultimate objective of this work is to show that complex cardinals are not an extra-linguistic phenomenon (as has often been assumed), but can tell us as much about syntactic structure and semantic composition as other linguistic expressions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [361]-390) and indexes. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Semantics of cardinals -- Syntax/semantics mapping with cardinals -- Concord and agreement with cardinals -- Additive complex cardinals -- Cardinals in Slavic languages -- Cardinals in other languages -- The modified cardinal construction -- The syntax of modified numerals -- Partitives and fractions -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Grammar, Comparative and general $x Numerals. 650 0 $a Cardinal numbers. 700 1 $a Matushansky, Ora, $e author. 830 0 $a Linguistic inquiry monographs ; $v 79. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402024530.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5F92052626B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
