| Abstract |
Romanian measure phrases such as 'pahar de apă' (‘glass of water’) are analyzed as being headed by a semi-lexical category, in the form of N1. What is specific for Romanian measure phrases is the fact that they occupy a very low position on the grammaticalization scale, preserving most of their lexical properties, including the referent. As true quantity designators, they can constitute the answer to the question ‘how much’.
