Počti, úlomki, základnje, slová počtovje… Could you determine what is the word class of these words? What was (is) it like with numerals in Slovak?
On the occassion of the Year of Ľudovít Štúr we made a special poster with names for the numerals used by Ľudovít Štúr. In his work Nauka reči Slovenskej (available here) he started to invent new terms.
On the poster you can find a list of the most common numerals in contemporary Slovak, gained from the main corpus of the written texts of the Slovak National Corpus prim-11.0, and a brief summary of numerals in Štúr-era language.
To get full access to the Slovak National Corpus, free registration is required.
If you are interested in numerals, please read the selected publications:
- The study Štúrova gramatická terminológia by Viera Dujčíková (available here).
- The study by Alexandra Jarošová with the title Zložené číslovky so zreteľom na písanie osobitne a dovedna (available here).
The poster with special names of the numerals can be found here.
