The present book collects seven studies on the grammatical aspects
of number names. No attempt has been made to unify the notation,
but all authors work from a generative viewpoint. Each contribution
chosen gives more than just a description of the number name system
in a certain language. Thus, the linguist interested in simplicity,
types of transformations, functional rules, tagmemic rules,
comparisons be tween languages, or language universals may profit
from this collection. H. BRANDT CORSTIUS v T ABLE OF CONTENTS A. V

FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR OF DUTCH NUMBER NAMES At the present time there
are quite a number of generative grammars for numerical
expressions. Brainerd (1967) even mentions the possibility of
giving "a complete description of systems of numerical expressions
in any language," where the transformation theory of number names
provides a framework for discussions of a number of universals. He
also refers to the advantages of completeness of descriptions being
possible in these grammars."
