This paper investigates the morphology of nouns in pseudo-partitive constructions, noun-numeral constructions and plurals. The data discussed reveal a *ABA pattern that restricts syncretism among these categories. Specifically, in the sequence pseudo-partitive, counting form and plural, only adjacent forms can be syncretic. I argue that the constraint can be derived from a particular morphosyntactic structure, where, following Borer (2005), mass nouns have the smallest structure, count nouns (found after numerals) are derived by dividing the mass into units, and plural is derived by restricting the count denotation to pluralities. The article further investigates how the relevant forms interact with case marking, and suggests that the forms should be organized into a two-dimensional paradigm space where syncretic forms occupy contiguous regions.

多维范式中质量、计数和复数符号的标记*

本文研究了名词在伪部分结构、名词-数字结构和复数结构中的形态。讨论的数据揭示了一种 *ABA 模式，该模式限制了这些类别之间的融合。具体来说，在伪部分、计数形式和复数的序列中，只有相邻的形式可以是合体的。我认为约束可以源自特定的形态句法结构，其中，根据 Borer (2005)，质量名词具有最小的结构，可数名词（在数字之后）是通过将质量划分为单位而得出的，复数是由将计数表示限制为复数。本文进一步研究了相关形式如何与案例标记相互作用，并建议将这些形式组织成一个二维范式空间，其中融合形式占据相邻区域。
