On the functional architecture of DP and the feature content of pronominal quantifiers in Low German

Abstract The article investigates the functional architecture of complex pronominal quantifying expressions (PQEs) in Low German, such as jeder-een ‘everyone’ and keen-een ‘no-one’, which provide overt evidence for a Num-projection, situated between the NP- and DP-layer. The feature specification of Num as [+lattice] or [−lattice] is responsible for whether the DP denotes into the domain of atomic or mass/plural entities, respectively. In the case of complex PQEs, the syntactic Num-head hosts the overt element een ‘a, one’, which carries a [−lattice] feature, thus ensuring that the PQE ranges... Mehr ...
