Abstract:

The goal of this book is to explore the relationship between the cognitive
notion of parthood and various grammatical devices expressing this concept in
natural language. The monograph aims to investigate syntactic constructions
and lexical categories, e.g., partitives, whole-adjectives, and multipliers,
encoding different kinds of part-whole structures both in Slavic and
non-Slavic languages. It is envisioned to inspire radical rethinking of the
ontology of models accounting for nominal semantics. Specifically, it provides
novel evidence for a mereotopological approach to meaning, i.e., a theory of
wholes that captures not only parthood but also topological relations holding
between parts. This evidence comes from the phenomenon of subatomic
quantification, i.e., quantification over parts of referents of concrete count
nouns.
