Paulina Lyskawa is in Glossa, on the curious behavior of DPs with paucal numerals in Polish, such as "pięć czarownic" ‘five witches’.

Now in Glossa, Paulina Lyskawa's "The structure of Polish numerically quantified expressions." Based on her 888, the paper argues that the curious behavior of DPs with paucal numerals in Polish, such as pięć czarownic ‘five witches’, can be captured if the numeral is specifier to a silent head that takes the noun phrase as its complement. The noun gets genitive case structurally, while the numeral gets accusative from a null preposition.
