Abstract
This chapter describes quantification in the Papuan language Nungon. After an introduction to Nungon grammar, various types of quantifiers are discussed. All
example sentences were gleaned from elicitation sessions or a Nungon texts corpus (collected between June 2011 and August 2013); these total 146,700 words.
