Most: the View from Mass Quantification

Résumé

It is currently assumed that most can quantify over mass domains. The crosslinguistic data (English, Romanian, Hungarian and German) examined in the paper indicates that this is true of entity (type e)-restrictor most but not of set (type )-restrictor most, which strongly supports the view that mass quantifiers denote relations between entities rather than relations between sets. Nevertheless my proposal differs from previous proposals in assuming a more constrained view of the syntax-semantics mapping.
