摘要

我们提供了一个解决在布里亚特名词的数字解释难题。Buriat在形态上具有双向数字对立(无标记与复数)，但在语义上，两种形式都可能是数字中立。我们表明，尽管未标记名词的数中立性受到严格限制，但它并不归结为(伪)合并。我们的建议是，未标记的名词既可以是单数的(投射NumP)，也可以是无数的(没有NumP)。当它们是单数时，它们在语义上是严格的原子，但当它们是无数时，它们是真正的数字中立，就像复数一样。在卡齐里安体系中，复数的复数推理和无数名词的一致数中立性被解释为具有结构定义的替代。

Plurality in Buriat and Structurally Constrained Alternatives

We offer a solution to a puzzle in the number interpretation of nominals in Buriat. Buriat has a two-way number opposition in morphology (unmarked vs. plural), but semantically, both forms may be number neutral. We show that even though the number neutrality of unmarked nominals is heavily restricted, it does not boil down to (pseudo-)incorporation. Our proposal is that unmarked nominals can be either singular (projecting a NumP) or numberless (lacking a NumP). In case they are singular, they are semantically strictly atomic, but when there are numberless they are truly number neutral, just like the plurals. The plurality inferences of plurals and the consistent number neutrality of numberless nouns are accounted for in a Katzirian system with structurally defined alternatives.

期刊介绍： Journal of Biomedical Semantics addresses issues of semantic enrichment and semantic processing in the biomedical domain. The scope of the journal covers two main areas: Infrastructure for biomedical semantics: focusing on semantic resources and repositories, meta-data management and resource description, knowledge representation and semantic frameworks, the Biomedical Semantic Web, and semantic interoperability. Semantic mining, annotation, and analysis: focusing on approaches and applications of semantic resources; and tools for investigation, reasoning, prediction, and discoveries in biomedicine.
