In this work, we show that collectivizers are in a sort of complementary distribution with singulatives, and that the same grammatical devices employed to convey a singulative meaning, namely evaluative morphology and gender shift, are in fact used also for collectivization purposes. On the basis of these empirical observations, it is tempting to assume that they share the same morphosyntactic workspace (Chomsky et al. 2018), weakening the Div hypothesis of Borer (2005). Based on morphosyntactic evidence, we argue that the very concept of a divider in the grammar of natural languages is far from being a realistic tool. This conclusion is supported by the observation that a full array of different class(ifying) specifications, including the whole set of the evaluative spectrum (diminutives, augmentatives, pejoratives, etc.) enter the syntactic computation to restrict the semantic shape, as well as the argumental variable of the root. In the case of collectivizers, they introduce an aggregate‐like reading not only applying to individual roots but also to mass roots or adjectival and verbal roots, suggesting that a richer and subtler set of interpretive properties comes into play.

意大利（及其他地区）的集体主义者。集体化和评估形态学之间的相互作用（和 Div 悖论）

在这项工作中，我们表明集体化者与单数词处于一种互补分布，并且用于传达单数含义的相同语法装置，即评价形态和性别转换，实际上也用于集体化目的。根据这些经验观察，很容易假设它们共享相同的形态句法工作空间（Chomsky 等人，2018 年），削弱了 Borer（2005 年）的 Div 假设。基于形态句法证据，我们认为自然语言语法中分隔符的概念远非现实工具。这一结论得到了以下观察的支持：一系列不同的分类规范，包括整套评价范围（贬义词、增强词、贬义词等）。) 进入句法计算以限制语义形状，以及词根的参数变量。在集体化者的情况下，他们引入了一种类似聚合的阅读，不仅适用于个人词根，而且适用于大众词根或形容词和动词词根，这表明更丰富和更微妙的解释属性开始发挥作用。
