Abstract: This note presents a set of facts concerning nominal structures in Bahnar, Mandarin, and Vietnamese. It proposes an account of these facts which reduces them to cross-linguistic differences with respect to the availability of particular syntactic configurations involving the bare nouns and its extended projection. These differences, in turn, are derived from cross linguistic variations with respect to the availability of items in the functional lexicon.
