Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article investigates the two competing views on floating numeral quantifiers (FNQs)—that is, numerals that appear away from their host NPs. One view holds that FNQs are transformationally derived from their nonfloating counterparts, whereas the other assumes no transformational relation. The article also compares the two by investigating how they fare with various syntactic and semantic properties of FNQs. FNQs serve as a powerful tool for investigating Japanese syntax. The stranding view advanced by Miyagawa observes that there are certain locality restrictions on the dependency between an FNQ and its host NP. The research on Japanese FNQs has been advanced a great deal over the past few decades, although many questions still remain unanswered. It is hoped that this article will serve as a partial overview of what has been done and sheds light on some of the issues which require further investigation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
