Abstract:
This book is the outcome of several decades of research experience, with
contributions by leading scholars based on long-term field research. It
combines approaches from descriptive linguistics, anthropological linguistics,
socio-historical studies, areal linguistics, and social anthropology. The key
concern of this ground-breaking volume is to investigate the linguistic means
of expressing number and countable amounts, which differ greatly in the
world’s languages. It provides insights into common number-marking devices and
their not-so-common usages, but also into phenomena such as the absence of
plurals, or transnumeral forms. The different contributions to the volume show
that number is of considerable semantic complexity in many languages
worldwide, expressing all kinds of extendedness, multiplicity, salience, size,
and so on. This raises a number of challenging questions regarding what
exactly is described under the slightly monolithic label of ‘number’ in most
descriptive approaches to the languages of the world.
