Abstract
Many languages use prepositions to qualify numerals, as in around ten or between ten and twenty. In this article we study the syntactic and semantic properties of these prepositions. We will argue that they take numerals as arguments and form full-fledged PPs that can function as numerals themselves. This leads us to reconsider the status of numerals.
