About this book

This collected volume approaches number as a linguistic category from both a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Bringing together specialists in Romance and Germanic languages, it opens up the study of this category to various fields of research (morphosyntax, semantics, typology, dialectology, terminology... as well as epistemology and philosophy of science, especially of mathematics).
