Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Southern California, 2014.

This dissertation addresses the question of what a 'plural' DP is with special attention to numeral-containing DPs. I argue that cardinal numerals have more than one possible merger site in the DP and that the availability of a collective interpretation of numeral-containing DPs is dependent on the structure, and specifically, on the merger site of the numeral. A lower merger site results in a collective interpretation of the DP and modifier-like behavior of the numeral. A higher merger site results in an exclusively distributive interpretation, and quantifier-like behavior of the numeral. More generally, I propose that a specific functional projection, #, is necessary for the availability of collective reading of a DP. In addition, I argue that there are two types of plural marking on nouns in Arabic: one that is semantically operative and functions as a count morpheme in a count projection, and another that is semantically vacuous and marks agreement with numerals when they merge in the lower position in #. The thesis addresses these questions with special attention to Arabic DPs.
