NUM: numeral
NUM
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.
Note that cardinal numerals are covered by NUM whether they are used as determiners or not (as in Windows Seven) and whether
they are expressed as words (four), digits (4) or Roman numerals (IV).
Other words functioning as determiners (including quantifiers such as many and few) are tagged DET.
Νon-cardinal numerals belong to other parts of speech:
- ordinal numerals (porv / birinǧí “first”, ikinǧí “second” etc.) are assigned the tag ADJ
- multiplicative numerals (annóš “once”, dvaš “twice”) are assigned the tag ADV
Examples
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2014, 1000000, 3.14159265359
- annó, dve, tri, _on beš “one, two, three, fifteen”
- I, II, III, IV, V, MMXIV
