dc.description.abstractAcross languages, plural marking on a noun typically conveys that there is more thanone entity in the denotation of the noun. In English, this 'more than one' meaning isgenerally regarded as an implicature on top of a 'semantically unmarked'/number-neutralliteral meaning of the plural noun ([10, 18, 20]; see also [5, 12]). In Turkish, however, it iscontroversial whether plural nouns should be analysed as number-neutral or whether theyshould directly denote strict plurality [2, 19, 6]. This debate is important as it can shedlight on the meanings number marking can have across languages, thereby constrainingcross-linguistically adequate theories of the semantics of number. We tested Turkishspeakingadults and 4-6-year-old children on the interpretation of plurals in upward-anddownward-entailing contexts, as compared to the 'not all' scalar inference of bazi 'some'.The results of our experiment support a theory of plural nouns which includes a numberneutralinterpretation. © Amsterdam Colloquium, AC 2017.All right reserved.en_US
