How Can Syntax Support Number Word Acquisition?
Language Learning and Development, 2012We expand upon a previous proposal by Bloom and Wynn (1997) that young children learn about the meaning of number words by tracking their occurrence in particular syntactic environments, in combination with the discourse context in which they are used. An analysis of the Childes database (MacWhinney, 2000) reveals that the environments studied by Bloom

Number/aspect interactions in the syntax of nominalizations: A Distributed approach
Journal of Linguistics, 2010In this paper we focus on the ability of ArgumentSupportingNominalizations(ASNs) to realize morphological plural. We think that this aspect of their behavior is instrumental in our understanding of their properties and their syntax within one language and across languages.

We saw in the last chapter that agreement is one of the ways of expressing number and this will be our main topic here. We first consider agreement and the types of mismatch which occur between the controlling noun phrase and the agreement target. Then we undertake a set of case studies leading to a typology of agreement options in number.

The logical syntax of number words: Theory, acquisition and processing
Cognition, 2009Recent work on the acquisition of number words has emphasized the importance of integrating linguistic and developmental perspectives [Musolino, J. (2004). The semantics and acquisition of number words: Integrating linguistic and developmental perspectives. Cognition93, 1-41; Papafragou, A., Musolino, J. (2003). Scalar implicatures: Scalar implicatures:

Can the meaning of two-digit Arabic numbers be accessed independently of their verbal-phonological representations? To answer this question we explored the number processing of ZN, an aphasic patient with a syntactic deficit in digit-to-verbal transcoding, who could hardly read aloud two-digit numbers, but could read them as single digits ("four, two").

Asymmetries between person and number in syntax: a commentary on Baker’s SCOPA
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, 2011This paper is a commentary on Baker’s “When Agreement is for Number and Gender but not Person”. In many contexts, the behavior of person agreement departs from that of number and/or gender agreement; the central hypothesis advanced by Baker—the Structural Condition on Person Agreement (or SCOPA)—is an attempt to derive these departures from a single ...

Abstract From an evolutionary perspective, it would be extremely surprising to find a nonhuman animal lacking in computational specializations. Simply take a mental walk through your average zoo or natural history museum, and consider bats and dolphins who use biosonar to auditorily see the world, honey bees that can detect polarized ...
