NUM: numeral
Definition
A numeral is a word functioning most typically as a determiner, adjective or pronoun, that expresses a number and a relation to the number such as quantity, sequence, frequency or fraction.
Cardinal numerals are always assigned the tag NUM whether they are used as determiners or not (as in Θύρα 7 / thira 7 “Gate 7”) and whether they are expressed as words (εφτά), digits (7) or Roman numerals (VΙΙ).
Νon-cardinal numerals belong to other parts of speech:
- ordinal numerals are assigned the tag ADJ (πρώτος, δεύτερος, τρίτος “first, second, third”)
- multiplicative numerals are assigned the tag ADV (άπαξ, δίπαξ “once, twice” )
Examples
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2014, 1000000, 3.14159265359
- ένα, δύο, τρία, εβδομήντα πέντε “one, two, three, seventy five”
- I, II, III, IV, V, MMXIV
- δωδεκάμιση “half past twelve” (with
