Title: Splitting atoms in natural language Authors: ID Haida, Andreas (Author) ID Trinh, Tue (Author) Files: haidatrinh2021splitting.pdf (225,12 KB) MD5: C93954C5CD9FB157AEAA34C65145745C   https://zenodo.org/records/5082472   Language: English Work type: Unknown Typology: 1.16 - Independent Scientific Component Part or a Chapter in a Monograph Organization: UNG - University of Nova Gorica Abstract: The classic Fregean analysis of numerical statements runs into problems with sentences containing non-integers such as John read 2.5 novels, since it takes such statements to specify the cardinality of a set which by definition must be a natural number. We propose a semantics for numeral phrases which allows us to count mereological subparts of objects in such a way as to predict several robust linguistic intuitions about these sentences. We also identify a number of open questions which the proposal fails to address and hence must be left to future research. Keywords: numerals, non-intergers, mereology Publication status: Published Publication version: Version of Record Year of publishing: 2021 Number of pages: Str. 277-296 PID: 20.500.12556/RUNG-9659  COBISS.SI-ID: 221616899  UDC: 81'1 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5082471  NUK URN: URN:SI:UNG:REP:97GPDVXY Publication date in RUNG: 09.01.2025 Views: 258 Downloads: 2 Metadata:    Cite this work Plain text BibTeX EndNote XML EndNote/Refer RIS ABNT ACM Ref AMA APA Chicago 17th Author-Date Harvard IEEE ISO 690 MLA Vancouver : Copy citation
