<abstract>Quantifiers and noun quantification are well-studied topics in linguistics, but, to the best of our knowledge, there are still no dedicated multilingual resources for the study of quantification. To address this gap, we compiled a large multilingual comparable corpus (Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean) and propose to enrich it with both syntactic and “quantificational annotation” (semantic information relevant to the study of quantification). In this paper, we present both the corpus and the annotation project, and report on our initial attempt at quantificational annotation, the challenges encountered, and the linguistic observations drawn from it.</abstract>
