This article addresses the problem which factors determine noun number marking in Hill Mari. I show how such factors, as referential status, animacy, semantic class of a noun, and specificity of a NP may govern the choice of singular or plural with non-singular referents. The results are compared to data from other Uralic languages and typological evidence about the category of noun number.
Keywords
