  • Description: .  This study argues that the availability of both a container and a containee reading of a container measure construction such as three bottles of water is the result of two possible routes of projection of semantic features: from the syntactic head and from the non‐head element. The paper proposes that such an optionality correlates with the parallelism of other formal properties of the two nominals of the construction. Theoretically, it demonstrates how this projection optionality challenges the current theories of feature projection, and how semantic feature projection is different from syntactic feature projection: they do not have to be projected from the same element.
