内容説明・目次
内容説明
The first comprehensive treatment of grammatical number in Welsh - an intriguing, yet relatively neglected area in the study of number phenomena.
Comprises major contributions to the study of grammatical number based on a new corpus collected from Middle Welsh texts and a reassessment of data from Old and Modern Welsh
Approaches number in Welsh from a cross-linguistic perspective, providing data that can be used by Welsh linguists, Celticists, and non-specialized linguists with no previous knowledge of the language
Offers new answers to whether certain noun types are number categories and explores the significance of literary genre to the study of older language stages
Integrates both diachronic and typological perspectives, and is based on the full corpus available here: https://zenodo.org/record/3632585#.XjgzwHtS8uU
Includes new findings on minor numbers, mass nouns and their agreement and the loss of dual number which will prove to be of interest to all linguists
