Abstract:
In the first century b.c., Marcus Terentius Varro used the terms singularis and multitudinis in his grammar of Latin, De Lingua Latina, to refer to two classes of morphological marking (cf. Taylor 1996). Soon after Varro’s writ-ing, the term pluralis replaced multitudinis (e.g. in Marcus Fabius Quintil-ian’s Institutio oratoria in the first century A.D.) while the term singularis caught on. Varro’s choice of terminology seems to have been inspired by a semantic intuition: Singularis literally means ‘alone ’ and presumably was taken to mean that the cardinality of the intended referent of a noun is equal to one. Multitudinis, on the other hand, derives from multitudo (‘multitude/great number’).1 Pluralis, which replaced Varro’s term, derives from plus (‘more’). This choice of terminology suggests that multitudinis/pluralis forms entail that the cardinality of the intended referent is greater than one. Varro’s term singular and the term plural have come to be widely used in the linguis-tic literature as many languages display a similar distinction as Latin does. Moreover, Varro’s semantic intuition is widely accepted in current semantic work. For example, a fairly recent work on the semantics of plurality simply states: [Plurality] just means ‘more than one ’ (Lasersohn 1995, ix). There are, however, several cases where the plural does not seem to imply cardinality greater than one. Consider the a. examples in (1) through (4), and compare them to the b. examples where two or more (or zwei (‘two’) in the German (4b)) is added to the plural noun.2 (1) a. You’re welcome to bring your children. b. You’re welcome to bring your two or more children. (2) a. Every boy should invite his sisters. b. Every boy should invite his two or more sisters. (3) a. No chairs are available. b. Two or more chairs aren’t available (4) a. Könnten
