Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the use of numerals in five novels by Meša Selimović: Derviš i smrt, Tvrđava, Tišine, Krug i Ostrvo. The author mainly analyses the declension (or non-declension) of cardinal and collective numerals, especially when it comes to express the dative and instrumental functions. The author also pays particular attention to certain semantic characteristics of collective numerals (general expression of quantity, gender irrelevance of the quantified subjects) which are very rarely mentioned in the language manuals.
