The interpretation of the mass-count distinction across languages and populations

This special collection brings together six studies using the same paradigm to investigate the interpretation of mass-count across languages and populations. Moreover, it includes contributions by Jeff Lidz, who discusses the implications of adult data for acquisition, and by David Barner and Alan Bale, who examine the paradigm itself.

Guest Editors: Jing Lin, Aviya Hacohen, and Jeannette Schaeffer
