Laura Janda and I are currently researching some typological issues that
have led us to investigate numeral classifiers in Asian (e.g., Mandarin Chinese) and other languages (e.g., Yucatec Maya). We are interested in knowing if anyone who researches numeral classifier systems can inform us about a language/languages that have sortal numeral classifiers but clearly no mensural classifiers (presumably having simple quantifiers instead). We realize that theoretical assumptions may come into play here, and would appreciate clarity in that regard. Thank you, Stephen M. Dickey Associate Professor University of Kansas |
