"This book provides a semantic and syntactic analysis of nominal expressions containing
complex cardinals (e.g., two hundred and thirty-five books), and shows that this analysis
accounts for the internal composition of cardinal-containing expressions cross-linguistically,
as well as a range of related phenomena. While there is much prior linguistic literature
on numerals, this literature has not considered the internal composition of complex
cardinals: the tacit assumption has been that any syntactic or semantic account that
captures the behavior of a simplex cardinal such as five automatically transfers to
a complex cardinal such as five hundred or five thousand and forty-six. We show that
this assumption is unwarranted, and propose a compositional semantic analysis of complex
cardinals. This book considers a wide range of issues in the syntax and semantics
of cardinals, investigates a wide variety of languages which use different syntactic
structures for complex cardinals, and examines related phenomena, including modified
numerals, measure nouns, and fractions. The ultimate objective of this work is to
show that complex cardinals are not an extra-linguistic phenomenon (as has often been
assumed), but can tell us as much about syntactic structure and semantic composition
as other linguistic expressions"
