The Oxford Handbook of Grammatical Number

This book offers detailed accounts of current research in all aspects of grammatical number in language. It draws on work from a range of subdisciplines - including morphology, syntax, semantics, and psycholinguistics - and will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in all areas of theoretical, descriptive, and experimental linguistics.

Patricia Cabredo Hofherr is a Researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Her work examines the interaction between morphology, syntax, and semantics. Her recent research focuses on cross-linguistic variation in argument backgrounding strategies, including passives and indefinites, and on the distributive dependencies involving event pluralities.
Jenny Doetjes is Professor of Semantics and Language Variation at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics. Her research concentrates on cross-linguistic variation and similarity in relation to semantics and cognition. She has worked on various phenomena across typologically different languages, including the count-mass distinction, quantity expressions, the relation between quantity and gradability, and wh-in situ questions.
