<p>Dear Daniel et al,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The usages of the Chitimacha form that you cite would seem, on
the face of it, to be more typical of a restrictive focus operator
than a singulative.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>These two alternatives may perhaps be distinguished by testing
for upward entailment. Consider the following two English
sentences:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>(1) John ate an apple</p>
<p>(2) John ate just one apple</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Given a state of affairs in which John ate two apples, sentence
(1), with the singular noun, is pragmatically infelicitous but not
false; it is the truth but not the whole truth. Such NPs, which
include singular as well as numerically quantified nouns, are
accordingly characterized as "increasing" or "upward entailing".
In contrast, sentence (2), with the restrictive focus operator
"just", is false.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Now I don't know for sure how NPs headed by a singulative-marked
noun behave — can anybody reading this who knows chip in here? —
but I would hazard a guess that they are also increasing / upward
entailing. If indeed this is the case, then testing for upward
entailments would make it possible to distinguish between
singulative and restrictive focus analyses of the Chitimacha
form. Guessing again, I strongly suspect (from the glosses
provided) that the NPs in question are not upward entailing, and
hence that the form in question is in fact a restrictive focus
operator.</p>
<p><br>

whether examples of this type belong under the category of
singulative as well, and if not, what distinguishes them

<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">I’m looking for data
on singulatives and I’m writing to ask for your help in
tracking down more instances of this phenomenon. There is
so far no comprehensive list of singulatives in the
world’s languages that’s informed by an operational
definition of what constitutes a singulative, and my aim
is to produce such a database.
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">My working definition
of the singulative is that it is a noun form with any
marker (inflectional or derivational) that creates a
meaning ‘one’ or ‘(one) unit’ when added to a base, i.e. a
singulativizing and individuating marker. Bases for
singulatives tend to be mass nouns, plurals, collectives
of different kinds, general number forms, and sometimes
non-nominal bases like adjectives. Here are four examples
of different types of singulatives under my definition:</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">(1) Bayso
(Afro-Asiatic): <i>lúban</i> ‘lion(s)’ (general number),
singulative
<i>lúban-titi </i>‘a lion’</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">(2) Russian
(Indo-European) <i>gorox</i> ‘pea(s)’ (mass), singulative
<i>goroš-ina</i> ‘a pea’</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">(3) Italian
(Indo-European) <i>cioccolato</i> ’chocolate’ (mass),
singulative
<i>cioccolat-ino</i> ’a chocolate praline, chocolate
sweet’</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">(4) Welsh
(Indo-European) <i>unigol</i> ‘individual’ (adjective),
singulative
<i>unigol-yn</i> ‘an individual’</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">These examples show
that singulatives occur in different number systems, and
they can be productive or unproductive (like the Russian -<i>ina</i>
suffix). I also include diminutive markers which have a
singulative function, as seen in (3) (Jurafsky 1996 calls
this the ’partitive’ function of diminutives). Forms that
are singulatives are often not described as such in
grammars (especially types 3 and 4), making them harder to
find. I am also including singulatives in older language
stages which have since been lost (e.g. Old Irish).</span></p>

11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">Below is a list of
languages (alphabetical order) on which I already have
data. I would be very grateful for any pointers to
grammars, language descriptions or other mentions of
singulatives in languages which are not on the list, or if
you think there are sources for any of the already listed
languages that I’m likely to have missed.
