Greville G. Corbett · Surrey Research Insight Open Access (The University of Surrey) · 1978
IN this paper a structure for phrases involving simple cardinal numerals' is proposed along with a set of rules required for deriving the basic constructions. This allows a fruitful approach to the complexities of numeral phrases in different Slavonic languages and highlights some of the remaining problems. These theoretical devices will be introduced with reference to Russian (I) and their effectiveness tested on Serbo-Croat (II) and Polish (III).
