This paper criticizes the view that number words in argument position
retain the meaning they have on an adjectival or determiner use (a generalized
quantifier or plural property), as argued by Hofweber (Philos Rev 114(2):179–225,
2005) and Moltmann (Philos Stud 162(3):499–534, 2013a Abstract objects and the
semantics of natural language Oxford University Press Oxford 2013b). In particular
the paper re-evaluates syntactic evidence from German given in Moltmann
(2013a b) to that effect.
