The purpose of this experimentwas to develop some understanding of the bounds and generality of the computations performed in the LATL regarding exactlywhat types of representations it combines. Particularly, as numerical quantification did not elicit conceptual combination in the LATL (Del Prato and Pylkkänen, 2014), our focus was on assessing whether this was because the LATL does not perform quantificational operations — which was Del Prato and Pylkkänen's interpretation — or because numbers in general are not a valid input to the LATL's combinatory mechanism. As a critical test case, we employed complex number
terms such as thirty-two, which at least intuitively, may be instances of conceptual combination with numbers as the input. If such combinations engage the LATL while numerical quantifications do not, this would be evidence that it is the nature of the combinatory operation as opposed to the nature of the input items that matters for the LATL.
