Semantics of Modified Numerals in Bangla
Nandini Bhattacharya
Abstract—These instructions give you guidelines for
preparing papers for the Modified numerals in natural
language semantics are defined as denoting cardinal numbers
that are modified by a quantifier or degree modifiers (+
adposition) and quantifies over the variable sets of the number.
In Bangla (a.k.a. Bengali), there are a range of modified
numeral expressions that occur as a quantificational phrase. A
numeral phrase in Bangla can be simultaneously modified by
two modifiers that further define the cardinality of the
numerals. They also occur embedded under the scope of
negation, as well as can occur both proceeding to and
postpositionally with the numerals. In contrast to languages
such as English, French and Hindi which have overt
comparative particles (e.g. than, que, /se/ etc.), Bangla has an
optional comparative postposition occurring with the numeral
before the degree adjective. This paper presents an overview of
the semantic distribution of the modified numerals in Bangla.
Furthermore, I examine the occurrences of these composite
modified numeral phrases in different types of syntactic
constructions in Bangla. Along with this, I put forward an
account of the scope interaction of these modified numerals
with negation and provide a formal analysis of the modified
numerals as scalar expressions in Bangla.
