[Lingtyp] Summary numeral in the world languages

[Isabelle BRIL]

Dear Joe

There are many such constructions in Oceanic languages, which are 
analysed in the following:

Bril, Isabelle. 2011. Noun-phrase conjunction in Austronesian 
languages : additive, inclusory and comitative strategies”. In C. 
Moyse-Faurie & J. Sabel (eds). /Topics in Oceanic morphosyntax/. Berlin: 
de Gruyter, Mouton (Trends in Linguistics 239), pp. 235-286.

Here is a link to the paper.
