The morphosyntactic evidence, discussed in Section 1, suggests that the corresponding expressions in Warlpiri are nominal, just like the.  (pages 2--81)E. Bach E. Jelinek & B. H. Partee

First, the claim that Mohawk does not have quantificational NPs requires some defense. In fact, Mohawk does have sentences that are near-equiv-alents of sentences with quantificational NPs in English.(1) gives examples in which the word akweku appears with universal force:(1) a.

1. 1. Lexical Categories Warlpiri has just two major lexical categories, nouns (N) and verbs (V). Morphologically, the distinction between these two categories is clear-cut. Members of the category N inflect for case and combine with derivational morphology associated exclusively with nouns. Members. [REVIEW]  (pages 81)E. Bach, E. Jelinek, A. Kratzer & B. H. Partee
