"The Morpho-Semantics of Number in Brazilian Portuguese Bare 
Singulars"

mardi 16 février à 11h00
à l'ENS
*** 24 rue Lhomond ***
Salle L 367 ( T4/5 ) (département de physique, troisième étage)

Resumé

In 
this talk, I provide evidence against the idea that 
bare singulars in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) are morphologically
singular but semantically number neuter. I argue instead that they
are sometimes specified for number (singular) and sometimes
under-specified and that this has semantic consequences. I develop
an account according to which whether or not a bare noun can enter
a syntactic derivation under-specified for number depends on the
functional heads to which it is syntactically related. The
conclusion is that, as far as number is concerned,
morpho-syntactic specification should NOT be kept apart from
semantic interpretation.
