Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. 1 online resource (xviii, 310 p.) : ill. Oxford studies in theoretical linguistics ; [no.] 42 Revised conference papers. Includes bibliographical references and index. This volume explores the expression of the concepts count and mass in human language and probes the complex relation between seemingly incontrovertible aspects of meaning and their varied grammatical realizations across languages. The chapters in this volume explore the question of the cognitive and linguistic universality and variability of the concepts count and mass from philosophical, semantic, and morpho-syntactic points of view, touching also on issues in acquisition and processing.
