摘要：This paper presents an analysis of the so-called plural marking -tul as a distributive marker. -Tul, misleadingly known as a plural marker, signals the existence of a distributive operator in a sentence. Collective readings, despite the presence of -tul, can be accounted for by employing the idea of a scope-taking difference of a distributive operator. Nouns with -tul as such exhibit different semantic properties from those of Englishlike plural nouns. I hold that this contrast has a root in their distinct syntactic structures: -tul-marked nouns as QPs, contrasted with -s-marked nouns as ClPs.
