520 $a An Optimality-theoretic model is proposed, formalizing L scONE-W sc D and constraints requiring prosodic contiguity and exceptions to L scONE-W sc D caused by words expressing more closely defined measure.
520 $a Russian quantifers are known for their complexity. This dissertation investigates expressions of indefinite quantity--specifically, accusative-assigning s 'about' of approximate measure.
520 $a This preposition has undergone a somewhat unique diachronic change which now requires that its complement consist of only a single word. I chronicle the advent of the single-word restriction (L scONE-W sc D), showing historical data with multi-word complements of s. Adjective-noun and numeral-noun complements were once attested; Russian now requires only one word after s.
520 $a This study investigates various apparent exceptions to L scONE-W sc D, which are violated only under very specific circumstances. These exceptions clarify the morphosyntax of: (1) paucal numerals ('two' through 'four' and the fractions pol 'half' and cetvert$\prime$ 'quarter'), (2) "prequantifier" adjectives, (3) syntactic compounds (adjective-noun sequences which inflect separately but are treated by the syntax as a single word), and (4) large-quantity numbers (tysjaca 'thousand' and greater).
520 $a Distributions of special genitive-singular and -plural forms, assigned only by quantifiers, are shown to be distinct: Only paucal numerals in morphological-nominative case assign "ADPAUCAL" genitive-singular forms (such as end-stressed caSA 'hours'); a number of elements, not just numerals, trigger "COUNT" genitive-plural forms (celovek 'people'). Other constructions discussed include okolo 'approximately', approximative inversion, etak 'about', and neskol$\prime $k o 'several':
520 $a Quantification is not a syntactic category but a semantic feature for which okolo is unmarked; okolo is quantificational only if its sister is a quantifier. Otherwise okolo is merely proximative: 'near'. Tests confirm that quantificational okolo heads a prepositional phrase within the noun phrase. While most prepositional quantifiers have this structure, accusative-assigning s is the relativized head of a hybrid phrase due to featural deficiencies.
520 $a Numeral-noun complements of s undergo approximative inversion--the noun moving to specifier position--to circumvent L scONE-W sc D. Approximative inversion is likewise subject to a variant of L scONE-W sc D, which requires a single prosodic word in the quantified constituent. When inversion is impossible a pleonastic count noun is inserted instead.
