Abstract We examine the morphology, syntax, and semantics of number in Balinese. All Balinese pronouns are singular, and non-reduplicated common nouns have general number. Regular and associative plural constructions allow for expression of nominal plurality. Common nouns can also be reduplicated, which often (but not always) indicates plural meaning. In the verbal domain, reduplication generally marks pluractionality. We show that reduplication is a derivational process which can imply rather than encode plural meaning. We also explore parallels between nominal and verbal plurality, examining inclusive/exclusive plural readings in nominal and verbal domains, and associative pluractionality in the verbal domain.

巴厘语中的名词，代词和口头号码

摘要我们研究了巴厘语中数字的形态，语法和语义。所有巴厘岛代词都是单数，并且非重复通用名词都有通用数。规则复数和关联复数构造允许表达名义复数。普通名词也可以被重复，这经常（但不总是）表示复数含义。在语言领域，重复通常标志着功能性。我们表明，重复是一个派生过程，可以暗示而不是编码复数含义。我们还探讨了名词复数和言语复数之间的相似之处，检查了名词和言语域中的包含性/排他性复数读数以及言语域中的联想功能性。
