ABSTRACT
Sm in (5) and (6) is the unstressed form of some; I am not going to do more than mention at this point that the stressed form is quite distinct, since it is either quantificational (with [-count] and [[+count) [-sg]] NPs) or else intensifying (with [[+count] [+sg]] NPs). Clearly - at least on the basis of these combinations - we can set up a proportion between a(n) and sm on the one hand, and the on the other:
(5) [Sm [+count) [-sg)) NP 6 Sm [- t]) P 2
