The Interaction of Syntax and Semantics in Countability and Number Marking
Countability and number marking are basically specified by morpho-syntactic structures. However, they are closely related with the denotations of noun phrases. Hence, it needs to be scrutinized (i) whether syntax and semantics are interrelated to mark the relevant information, and (ii) in what way they are. In this study, we will review diverse linguistic data to analyze patters for countability and number marking. Finally, it will be concluded t…
Cross-Linguistic Evidence for Semantic Countability
Countability and plurality (or singularity) are basically marked in syntax or morphology, and languages adopt different strategies in the mass-count distinction and number marking: plural marking, unmarked number marking, singularization, and different uses of classifiers. Diverse patterns of grammatical strategies are observed with cross-linguistic data in this study. Based on this, it is concluded that although countability is not solely determ…
An Interpretation Domain with Context-Dependent Events
I address the interpretations of verbal predicates, focusing on the structural similarities between the domains of objects and events. Based on Davidson’s (1967) theorum that events are individuals just like objects, I start from a proper interpretation domain for nominal interpretations and expand it to verbal interpretations. I critically review Rothstein (2008), which takes an interpretation domains suggested by Chierchia (1998). To resolve pr…
Typological Accounts for Nominal Forms
Various linguistic phenomena may serve a basis for the classification of languages and nominal forms make part of the criteria for the classification. In this study, two major approaches are closely compared for language typology based on nominal forms. Chierchia (1998a, b) assumes that morpho-syntactic features should be crucial in determining the denotations and grammatical categories of NPs. He suggests three classificatory categories with the…
The Distributivity of Collections Terms in Korean
The plural morpheme –tul in Korean has been discussed to have two readings: a pluralizer and a distributor. A less discussed usage of – tul is that it may be attached to a collection term to derive the mem- ber reading of a collection. However, not all terms that are consid- ered as collective nouns are subject to individualization by –tul. Thus, it must be discussed which nouns are individualized and what properties they share. This study presen…
A Parallel between Countability and Atomicity
The general notion of countability is that count nouns are pluralized and denote atomic entities while mass nouns are used only in singular forms and denote non-atomic entities. However, diverse linguistic data show that the correlation between countability and plurality is not tenable. In this study, challenges to the classical view are reviewed. Pointing out problems with the challenges, I argue that countability and atomicity are correlated
Comparisons between Pidgins and ‘Unish’
In this paper, I review major linguistic features of pidgins and com- pare them with those of a new artificial language named ‘Unish’. I will show that although Unish is a constructed language, it is easy and natural by modeling pidgins. Furthermore, I argue that Unish is a proper form of language to carry the role of universal language in the globalization era
