Аннотация: This book aims at providing a cross-linguistic analysis of noun classification systems across the languages of the world, also dealing with a variety of other problems such as the morphological status of the markers of these categories, agreement phenomena, and the syntactic and semantic classification of adjectives and numbers. It is generally accepted that linguistic categorization of nouns is a reflection of human mind and culture. The present study thus has far-reaching implications for cross-cultural as well as cross-linguistic studies of human cognition, and will provide new insights concerning the mechanisms by which human language functions.
