Abstract:

What constitutes our concept of numbers and makes it possible for us
to work with them the way we do? Which mental faculties contribute to
our grasp? What qualities do we share with other species, and which
ones are specific to us? This book addresses these questions to reveal
that language plays a crucial role in the development of systematic
number concepts. It analyzes the relationship between numerical
thinking and the human language faculty, providing psychological,
linguistic, and philosophical perspectives on numbers, their
evolution, and development in children.

Contents:

2. What does it mean to be a number?

4. The language legacy
5. Children's route to number: from iconic representations to
