Includes bibliographical references

I investigate the semantics of Burmese plural morphemes, twe/dwe, mya, and to/do. In the literature, plural expressions are often classified by whether their referent consists of atoms that are homogeneous or non-homogeneous. I argue that this insufficient in capturing the differences observed amongst plural expressions in Burmese. I suggest that a productive way to classify plurals is in terms of extendedness: whether the referents of plural expressions can include atoms that do not satisfy the relevant description of the overt nominal(s) in the expression. I thus report that plurals formed with twe/dwe and mya are consistently non-extending, and plurals formed with to/do are extending.I further report that the associative plural to/do has an internal plural use, where the multiplicity inference is satisfied internally by the referents named in the expression. I propose that the contribution of to/do is an at-issue post-supposition evaluated after the primary assertions of the sentence.
