--- abstract: 'This paper is a descriptive survey of the principal phenomena surrounding cardinal numerals in attribution to nouns, with some concentration on European languages, but within a world-wide perspective. The paper is focussed on describing the syntagmatic distribution and the internal structure of numerals. By contrast, the important topic of the paradigmatic context of numerals, that is how their structure and behaviour relates to those of quantifiers, determiners, adjectives, and nouns, does not receive systematic discussion here, although many relevant comments are made in passing. A further necessary limitation in scope is the exclusion of forms which are only marginally cardinal numerals, if at all, such as English both, dozen, fourscore, pair, triple and their counterparts in other languages.' altloc: - http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~jim/eurofinal.s.ps chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Hurford given: Jim honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1998 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-04-27 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/01/93 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Plank given: F. honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 193 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_postscript.png;/193/2/eurofinal.s.ps full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:43 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: Noun Phrase Structure in the Languages of Europe publisher: European Science Foundation refereed: FALSE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 10 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:24:54 subjects: - ling-compara - ling-phono - ling-prag - ling-syntax - soc-psy succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: The interaction between numerals and nouns type: bookchapter userid: 70 volume: ~
