This paper discusses the syntactic
properties of 'prepositional numeral constructions (PNCs)' in English,
which is exemplified by ‘about 250 babies’ and ‘over 16,000 animals’. In
PNCs a preposition is followed by a numeral. Previous analyses have
claimed that the preposition and the numeral make a prepositional phrase
in PNCs, but we argue that this is not a satisfactory approach. In HPSG
there are some possible analyses that might be proposed, but there are
reasons for supposing that the best analysis is one in which the
preposition is a functor, a non-head selecting a numeral head.
