This book proposes an object-centred and contextualist account of the count/mass distinction. The main finding is that there is a connection between variation in count/mass lexicalization patterns and the ways in which nouns can diverge from manifesting the canonical grammatical reflexes expected of the count/mass distinction in a given language.
