Numerical quantifier
From Teflpedia
A numerical quantifier is a quantifier that consists of a number.
Form[edit | edit source]
English uses cardinal numbers for this purpose.
For example:
- Mrs Hills has got six cats.
The number occupies the determiner slot. They can only determine countable nouns, and not uncountable nouns.
Appropriacy[edit | edit source]
Numerical quantifiers may be written as words or as Arabic numerals. It is largely a matter of style as to which is preferred. Larger numbers are generally written as numerals, whereas smaller numbers are often written as words.
