 Imagine that I sold exactly four teapots yesterday. 46(a) has an interpretation where I am entitled to a $10 bonus. On this reading, our quantification domain is some set of non-overlapping situations that are minimal situations in which I sold two teapots on the same day. Regardless of how we pair up yesterday’s four teapot sales to construct an acceptable counting domain, we always end up with exactly two bonus-qualifying situations. This shows that numeral expressions like two teapots do not obligatorily have maximalized interpretations. 46(a) contrasts with 46(b) and (c). 46(c) has no interpretation where I qualify for a $10 bonus if I sold four teapots yesterday. And 46(b) has no interpretation where I get $10 dollars if I sold six, for example. We can conclude, then, that numeral expressions of the form more than n NP or between n and m NP trigger denotations that are obligatorily maximalized, but this is not the case for simple numerals of the form n NP.
