By contrast, mass nouns (MNs) are in the singular and show an irregular behavior: ‘substance’ MNs (SMNs, e.g. clay) prefer non-cardinal measurement (by volume, weight, etc.) while ‘object’ MNs (OMNs, e.g. baggage, furniture) trigger cardinal comparisons (McCawley 1975).	cache/elm-5811.pdf	txt/elm-5811.txt
