In this paper, we examine mass and count in Michif, a language often called a mixed language , which has elements from French (and English) and Cree (and Ojibwe). French has an obvious grammatical mass/count distinction (Doetjes 1997); Cree does not. Michif could therefore display a mass/count distinction, like French, or look like it lacks one, like Cree. In fact, the system is mixed (contra Croft 2003: 58): French-derived nominals display an obvious mass/count distinction and the Cree-derived nominals do not. Number, numerals and quantifiers disambiguate within the French-derived part of the grammar but do not in the Cree-derived part. Michif has inherited both the French system and the Cree system, reflected in the behaviour of the nominals.

米切夫的临界质量

在本文中，我们检查了Michif（一种通常称为混合语言）的质量和计数，该语言具有法语（和英语）和Cree（和奥吉布韦）的元素。法语在语法质量/数量上有明显的区别（Doetjes 1997）；Cree没有。因此，Michif可以显示质量/数量的区别，例如法语，或者看起来缺乏质量/数量的区别，例如Cree。实际上，系统是混合的（与Croft（2003）相反：58）：法国衍生的标称具有明显的质量/数量区别，而克里衍生的标称没有。在语法的法语派生部分中，数字，数字和量词没有歧义，而在克里语派生的部分中则没有歧义。米歇夫继承了法国制度和克里制度，这都体现在名义上的行为上。
