Provided abstract: This paper investigates the interaction of mass nouns with numerals and plural morphology in Russian and English. In Russian, high numerals, which require a plural complement, cannot combine with mass nouns: *pjat’ piv / vod ‘five beers / waters’. I propose an analysis of this puzzle at the syntax-semantics interface, arguing that (i) pluralization must apply on top of a mass-to-count shift and not vice versa; (ii) in Russian, unlike English, pluralization of mass nouns must take place below nP. --------------------------------------------- ## Additional Notes Links: - https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/ This presentation is part of the 2021 West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics collection, which is available here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.c.5325401
