Counting and enumerating aggregate classifiers

The Effect of Familiarity and Semantics on Early Acquisition of Japanese Numeral Classifiers

Japanese is one of the languages that has a numeral classifier system (e.g., Aikhenvald, 2000). The use of numeral classifiers is obligatory when enumerating, and numeral classifiers occur as a bound morphemes attached to a number. The selection of numeral classifiers is determined by the semantic properties of the referent being counted. Cross-linguistic studies of numeral classifiers indicate...

Neural correlates of counting of sequential sensory and motor events in the human brain.

Little is known about the ability to enumerate small numbers of successive stimuli and movements. It is possible that there exist neural substrates that are consistently recruited both to count sensory stimuli from different modalities and for counting movements executed by different effectors. Here, we identify a network of areas that was involved in enumerating small numbers of auditory, visu...

Numeral Classifiers in Specific Counting Systems: Cultural Context, Linguistic Principles, and Cognitive Implications

Specific counting systems are characterized by a combination of two features: They are based on larger counting units (multiplication function) and apply to certain objects only (object specificity). This paper analyzes the constitutive role that numeral classifiers may play for specific counting systems, with instances from Polynesian and Micronesian languages. Despite a considerable divergenc...
