Chen names this phenomenon dou-(dis)harmony and offers an explanation based on a context-dependent expected value . Specifically, dou carries a presupposition that the number of ‘NPs’ (people in (4)) that ‘VP’ (came to the party in (4))—falls above the expected value .
Since “few NP VP” is true iff the number of ‘NPs’ that ‘VP’ falls below (Partee 1988), contradicting the high-rank presupposition of dou, dou is incompatible with few.
In a parallel manner, the compatibility of dou and many is explained by taking “many NP VP” to be true iff the number of ‘NPs’ that ‘VP’ falls above .2
