Several quantifiers are different than others: Polish indefinite numerals

In this paper, I examine properties of two Polish indefinite quantifiers, namely ileś
‘some, some number’ and kilka ‘several, a few’. I argue that they share morphosyntactic properties with cardinal numerals rather than with vague quantifiers
such as mało ‘little, few’ and dużo ‘much, many’ and propose that they should be
modeled as involving a built-in classifier comprising both a measure function and
choice function. The difference between the two indefinites boils down to the type
of set the choice function selects a member from and the type of measure function
that is employed.
