On the plural marker [-human] men in Hezhou and its neighboring dialects
汉语河州话及周边地区非指人名词的复数标记"们"
Résumé
Hezhou dialect and neighboring speeches form a sprachbund. In these speeches, the plural marker –men can occur after nouns with the semantic feature [-human]. However, in these cases –men does not always indicate plurality. The paper analyzes the syntactic and semantic constraints on the plural marker –men and its allophones in light of the author’s field work as well as historical data on Altaic languages.
