Bare plurals exhibit no quantifier of determiner before the head the noun like 'dogs' in the sentence, "Dogs bark". However, semantically, this sentence is interpreted into 'generally, all dogs bark.' The bare plural NP dogs implies 'all the dogs' in the sentence. Therefore bare plurals are normally assumed to contain 'generic quantifiers' or 'zero quantifiers'(cf. Carlson 1977). Focusing on this generic use of bare plurals, I examine children's interpretation of bare plurals and compare it with their interpretation of universal quantifiers in this paper. It is claimed that children's exhaustive errors with universal quantifiers, which have been reported by previous research, are also found in bare plural constructions
