Kategorijski status kvantitativnih izraza
The categorial status of quantity expressions

Summary/Abstract: Although semantically a single category, quantity expressions behave as three distinct categories syntactically, namely, as quantifiers, nouns and adjectives. Those quantity expressions which behave as quantifiers, and those that behave as nouns, are syntactic heads assigning case to their complements. Those quantity expressions that behave as adjectives are noun modifiers agreeing in phi-features and case with the head noun. The quantity expressions that behave as nouns are fully declinable and they assign genitive case to their complement. The quantity expressions that behave as quantifiers are indeclinable and take a genitive complement. Finally, the quantity expressions that behave as adjectives have a full adjectival declension.
