    Against the view that the quantifying meaning is the semantic core of numerals

  • Original language description

    One of the challenges in the research on numerals concerns capturing the relationship between their quantifying use, where the cardinal counts entities in the denotation of the modified NP, and the arithmetical use, where the numeral does not provide a cardinality, but rather refers to an abstract mathematical object. Several recent proposals argue that it is the quantifying meaning that is basic and the arithmetical meaning is derived from it via some kind of shifting operation (Ionin &amp; Matushansky 2006, 2018; Rothstein 2013, 2017; Kennedy 2015). In this paper, I will present two novel arguments against such an approach and demonstrate how one of the problems can be easily accounted for within Wągiel &amp; Caha's (2020) nanosyntactic framework that postulates that the numerals' semantic core is the arithmetical meaning.
