    In this paper, we discuss some rather puzzling facts concerning the semantics of Warlpiri expressions of cardinality, ie the Warlpiri counterparts of English expressions like one, two, many, how many. The morphosyntactic evidence, discussed in Section 1, suggests that the corresponding expressions in Warlpiri are nominal, just like the.E. Bach E. Jelinek, A. Kratzer & B. H.

    First, the claim that Mohawk does not have quantificational NPs requires some defense. In fact, Mohawk does have sentences that are near-equiv-alents of sentences with quantificational NPs in English.(1) gives examples in which the word akweku appears with universal force:(1) a. John akweku wa-shako-kv-'. [REVIEW]E. Bach, E. Jelinek, A. Kratzer & B. H.

Members of the category N inflect for case and combine with derivational morphology associated exclusively with nouns. Members. [REVIEW]E. Bach, E. Jelinek, A. Kratzer & B. H.
