I argue that an account of both inclusive plurals and the crosslinguistic typology of grammatical number requires postulating a [−atomic] feature (or something very much like it) in the structure of exclusive-plural DPs. When combined with the only theory we currently have that accounts for the crosslinguistic typology of number (Harbour 2014), theories in which the exclusive-plural DPs of a language with inclusive plurals are [−atomic]-less under- or overgenerate with respect to that typology. These problems disappear as soon as the structure of exclusive plural DPs contains a component that generates exclusive-plural interpretations, either Harbour’s [−atomic] feature (added to a system with a second, [−atomic]-less structure, a proposal compatible with, e.g., Farkas and de Swart 2010) or a predicate-level exhaustivity operator (from Mayr 2015).

包容复数与数论

我认为,对包含数的复数形式和语法数的跨语言类型学的说明都要求在排他性复数DP的结构中假设一个[-atomic]特征(或类似的东西)。当我们与唯一的理论结合时,我们目前可以解释数字的跨语言类型学(Harbour 2014),其中理论中具有包容复数的语言的排他性DP相对于[-atomic]少或少生成。这种类型。一旦排他性复数DP的结构包含一个生成排他复数解释的组件,这些问题就消失了,这些解释是Harbour的[-atomic]功能(添加到具有第二个[-atomic]结构的系统中,该提议与,例如Farkas和de Swart 2010)或谓词级穷举运算符(来自Mayr 2015)。
