, 2017 Bare nouns (BNs) are noun phrases that are not introduced by a determiner. They have constituted a central case study into the logical form of natural language and one of the most challenging empirical domains for generally accepted hypotheses on the syntax/semantics interface.

Definiteness with Bare Nouns in Shan
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2019Shan, a Southwestern Tai language spoken in Myanmar, Thailand, and nearby countries, uses bare nouns to express both unique and anaphoric definiteness, a definiteness distinction identified by [15]. This novel data pattern from the author’s fieldwork can be analyzed by adding an anaphoric type shifter, \(\iota ^x\), to the available type shifting ...

French Bare Arguments Are Not Extinct: The Case of Coordinated Bare Nouns
Linguistic Inquiry, 2004The study of bare arguments mainly concentrates on the distribution of bare plurals (BPs) while little attention is paid to coordinated bare nouns (CBNs). The contribution of Heycock and Zamparelli (2003) is a serious attempt to fill this gap, but the details of their analysis lead to predictions that are not correct for French.

Bare nouns with different edges
, 2010 The central observation in this paper is that bare nouns display an ambiguous interpretation only under coordination. Adopting a strict syntax-semantic mapping, this paper focuses on this property and argues that the ambiguity follows from the level of complexity of the left periphery: plural and mass bare nouns have different readings according to ...

Bare Numeral Classifier Phrases and Bare Nouns in Mandarin
2020Chapter 2 examines Mandarin numeral classifier phrases. It begins with a discussion of a list of tendentially universal properties of numeral-noun phrases in number marking languages (NMLs) like English and French and argues for a D-less analysis of them.

Annual Review of Linguistics, 2020
Determiners and bare nouns raise questions about the interface between morphosyntax and semantics. On the syntactic side, the primary issue is whether bare nouns have a null determiner making all noun phrases structurally uniform. On the semantic side, the primary issue involves determining and deriving the range of permissible readings.

AbstractBare nouns are noun phrases with a common noun lacking an overt determiner. Depending on the theoretical framework at hand, and the syntax–semantics interface adopted, they are analysed as NPs, NumPs, or DPs with an empty (null) D. No information on singular/plural, mass/count, definite/indefinite reference can be derived from the determiner if

Chapter 2 offers a detailed presentation of bare NPs in both argumental and predicational positions. It is argued that the use of bare NPs in argument positions should not be viewed as being related to the use of bare NPs in predicate positions. This observation strongly suggests that the property-analysis of argumental bare plurals is misguided.

This paper investigates distributional and semantic properties of two kinds of indefinite NPs in Bulgarian: bare nouns vs. NPs headed by edin ‘one’. The central question, which constitutes a subject of intense debate in the literature, is whether there is a semantic (and pragmatic) difference

Genericity, (In)Definiteness and Bare Nouns
2012Chapter 7 assumes the current account of the generic reading of singular indefinites, relying on an LF representation in which a Q-adverb binds the variable supplied by the indefinite. This type of LF is argued to be illegitimate for plural and mass indefinites (due to a violation of an individuability constraint on quantification), which explains why ...
