Yet, it does not preclude the scenario where the two coexist in a language but do not co-occur on N. The first objective of this paper is purely empirical: to identify to what extent these two predictions are borne out. We then set out to account for the general pattern of distribution between Cs and PMs across languages as well as the exceptional cases where C/PM do co-occur on N. The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 offers a mathematical interpretation of Cs and PMs as the functional basis for their unification. Section 3 then obtains from the WALS database 22 languages that employ Cs and PMs and examines the distribution of the two on N in each language. Section 4 consists of discussions of the empirical facts obtained in the previous section and offers a formal syntactic account of Mandarin C/PM cooccurrence. Section 5 examines the implication that C/PM unification has on the controversy of count/mass distinction in languages. Section 6 concludes the paper.", |

Indeed, like Chinese C, which is generally required, the generally required -s can be omitted without affecting the meaning. Thus, though (7a) is ill-formed in an argument position, its meaning is unmistakable. Also, in some languages, e.g., Hungarian, Tibetan, Archaic Chinese, among others, the counterpart of (7a) is well-formed in argument positions. Likewise in (7b), three-cup, well-formed as a modifier, still has the plural reading. And then, there are cases like those in (7c), where the omission of -s is obligatory, but a plural reading still must obtain. Note also that PM -s is still required when Num's value is smaller than 1, and thus not 1, e.g., 0.5 apples and 0 apples and not *0.5 apple and *0 apple, indicating that -s here has little to do with plurality. The PM -s thus serves the same function as a general C in highlighting the discreteness or countability of N. However, there is a caveat: PM -s is not allowed when Num has the value of 1, as in 8, and yet, the counterpart C ge in Chinese is well-formed.", |

In [1\u00d71], either the multiplier (Num) or the multiplicand (C/PM) can be omitted without changing the result. Both options are found in languages. As seen in (10a), in Chinese Num is optionally omitted, but only when its value is 1; in contrast, in Persian, when Num is 1, it is obligatorily omitted, as in (10b) (Gebhardt 2009:212) . In Khasi, an Austro-Asiatic language in India, when Num is 1, it is C that is obligatorily omitted, as in (10c) (Temsen 2007: 6) ; the same is true in Tat (Greenberg, 1990 (Greenberg, [1972 :168), Amis, a Formosan language (Tang 2004:389) , and Tetun, an Austronesian language (van Klinken, 1999) . English, shown in (10d), is thus rather like Khasi; the only difference is that the multiplicand 1 is expressed as PM in English, C in Khasi.

However, recent data from corpus and the Internet indicate that C and -men, a PM for human nouns, do co-occur, indicating variation in grammaticality judgment among Mandarin speakers (e.g., Her 2012a). To explain this C/PM co-occurrence, we propose a formal account with the following grammatical characterizations. With that, we account for (27) with the structure and derivation in (28). The suffix -men attracts N to raise to CL. Given that -men carries a definite reading (e.g., Huang et al, 2009:8.4 .1), the N-men phrase thus raises to Num and then to D to fill the empty heads. Finally, for the co-occurrence of C and-men, it should be noted that any analysis proposed should ideally reflect its marked nature, as C/PM co-occurring on N is clearly the exception, not the norm. An example is given in (37), the derivation of which is illustrated in (38a-c). Note the difference between (38) and (31); the latter is without -men and thus without DP.", |

Thus, the DP structure of (38) remains the same with an overt D, e.g., zhe 'the'. The double-headed CL is independently motivated by the so-called 'CL copying construction', coined by Zhang (2013:169) .

The C/PM unification thus supports Yi's (2009 Yi's ( , 2011 and Her's (2012a) rejection of the thesis that classifier languages, unlike PM languages, have no count nouns, a thesis held prominently by Quine (1969b:35ff) , Allan (1977) , Krifka (1995) , and Chierchia (1998) , among others.

More significantly, experiments conducted by Gordan (2005) and Everett and Madora (2012) show that monolingual Pirah\u00e3 speakers are only able to conceptualize an exact numerical quantity equal to or smaller than three. However, the notion of 'count' only requires the concept of individual via the notion of one (Yi, 2009:219) . In other words, the notion of exact quantity above three is not a necessary condition for either the conceptual or the linguistic distinction between count and mass. Clear evidence for a count/mass distinction in Pirah\u00e3 comes from the two different quantifiers in (47), both indicating a large quantity in approximation (Nevins et al 2009) .", |

We concur with Her (2012a) that this generalization exists because it reflects C/PM's identical mathematical function as a multiplicand with the value of 1 and the cognitive function of highlighting the discreteness, or the count nature, of the noun. However, genuine exceptions, where C/PM co-occur on N in 11 languages out of 114 examined, do pose a challenge to the unification of Cs and PMs. These 11 languages are Ainu, Belhare, Chantyal, Hatam, Hungarian, Japanese, Kathmandu Newar, Khmer, Mandarin, Nivk, and Taba. We take Mandarin as an example and account for its [D Num CL N] construction, where the C/PM co-occurrence involves a marked structure with a double-headed CL.", |
