Abstract:

The book examines the category Number from a variety of linguistic
perspectives. Typological aspects of co-plurals and singulatives are
introduced and number marking is analysed for three individual
languages: Kamas (Samoyedic), Welsh (Celtic) and Wagi (Beria,
Saharan). For each language, the focus lies on a different aspect of
number marking: In the Wagi dialect of Beria, different tonal patterns
are discovered. The extinct Kamas language is analysed in terms of
language contact with Russian. Number categories can also serve as a
measure of loanword integration, as the study about spoken Welsh
shows. The combination of articles in this volume illustrates the
potential of number marking and offers insights that contribute our
understanding of how grammatical number is applied and categorised in
languages.
