| Description | In this paper, I investigate the underlying meaning of additive numerals. Cross-linguistically, additive numerals often involve a conjunction marker (e.g., Hurford, 1975; Ionin and Matushansky, 2018), which indicates a deep relationship between the expression of arithmetical addition and mereological sum formation. |
