Abstract
V originále
The research on numerals has mainly focused so far on quantifying uses, where the cardinal quantifies over entities denoted by the NP.It is this quantifying meaning what is typically assumed as basic (Kennedy 2013, Rothstein 2017, Ionin & Matushansky 2018). Yet, there are other flavors of numerals including arithmetical and label uses (Bultinck 2005) where numerals do not provide a cardinality, but rather refer to an abstract mathematical entity or an object associated with a particular number. The main aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between the three functions from a cross-linguistic perspective with the emphasis on Slavic and classifier languages. I argue that the arithmetical meaning is the numerals' underlying semantic core from which both the quantifying and label meaning are derived forming complex abstract part-whole structures.
