1. In other words, NPs that can be pluralized but not definitized and those that can be pluralized and definitized but not pronominalized are excluded as possible constructions. 2. The claim is that whereas referential marking is not a prerequisite for pronominalization – even generic noun phrases and “predicate nouns“ can be pronominalized – only a subset of pronominalizable things, i. e. those which have reference, can undergo definitization; and (though all nouns with reference are quantifiable) only that subset which is countable can be numerated.
