Spanish Binominal Nouns @cite{saab-2026}

Lexical entries for Spanish nouns appearing in binominal constructions, classified by their structural type.

Noun Classes

• Group nouns (pseudo-partitive): grupo, conjunto, serie
• Quantity nouns (quantificational): montón, pila, cantidad
• Expressive nouns (qualitative): mierda, maravilla, desastre

Each class determines the internal structure of the binominal DP and thereby the availability of NP-ellipsis.
