Subject:  Evolution of number in Slavonic languages

Dear LigusitList members:

It would be extremely useful for me if anyone can suggest to me any
idea about the following topics: 1) Distinctive features of the
grammatical number in Slavonic languages, and 2) Main consequences of
the disappearance of dual in Slavonic languages. I asked myself such
things as: what morphological implications took this disappearance?
(main consequences, I suppose concern the numeral phrase), and also,
what typological implications should we expect when a language loose
the dual number? I promise to post a note summarizing the huge amount
(I hope) of answers I will surely receive.

Best regards,

Antonio

Dear all,

I am a PhD student in Linguistics: at the moment I am working in the
field of Lexical Semantics.

I am writing to ask the native speakers of English, but not
necessarily, if it is possible to spell the adjective ''intensional''
(as opposed to ''extensional'' of the logico-philosophical tradition),
or the noun ''intensionality'' (semanticity), or the adverb
''intensionally'' with a ''t'' (intentional, intentionality, and
intentionally), meaning exactly the same thing.

If it is not possible, does the ''t-spelling'' exist? Do the two forms
have distinct meanings pertaining to the same logico-philosophical,
linguistic domain or has the ''intentional-spelling'' only the ''?

Thank you for your attentiona and help!

Gloria
