| dc.description.abstractEn | In this paper we show that non-agreeing quantifiers in Basque are conceptually<br />measures. Furthermore, based on the differences between agreeing and non-agreeing<br />quantifiers and observing that the latter do not behave as counters (i.e. they can not appear in<br />NumP position) we propose a new syntactic structure for NPs (building on Borer,<br />2005) where measures head their own functional projection. This functional projection is<br />placed in between the Classifier Phrase and the Number Phrase. We also show that<br />non-agreeing quantifiers are sensitive to the nature of the predicates they associate to and that<br />Measure Phrases seem to measure both individuals and events/states, as long as the latter<br />denote non-trivial part-whole structures. The predicate sensitivity of measuring quantifiers<br />are explained using the monotonicity constraint (Schwarzschild, 2002) and a<br />homomorphism function (Krifka, 1989; Nakanishi, 2004, 2007). | |
