ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ МАТЕМАТИЧЕСКОГО МЫШЛЕНИЯ И СТАНОВЛЕНИЕ ИМЕН ЧИСЛИТЕЛЬНЫХ КАК ЧАСТИ РЕЧИ
THE EVOLUTION OF MATHEMATICAL MENTALITY AND FORMATION OF NUMERALS AS PARTS OF SPEECH

Summary/Abstract: The influence of mathematical mentality is defined by researchers as a main source of grammatical evolution of numerals. Theuniversal semantic content of numeratives, associated with the expression of the mathematical idea of a number, really makes theirpurpose for a variety of languages rather similar. Evolving semantically, the systems of numerals in their lexical composition areunified by the principle of terminological systems. The unifying thread and the scope of their formation strictly define the syntaxsequence of its components. The numerals are set in a single derivational model. The counting series, in which numerals performtheir main function, is a special text. Its elements have a semantic and formal influence on each other. In the process of numeration,numerals tend to the state of maximum isolation from the other parts of speech, usually the nominal ones. The tendency is manifestedboth in their semantic and grammatical characteristics. At the same time, the examples given in the article, show that the interactionof abstract-mathematical mentality and grammar can result in formal transformations. Such transformations are strictly specific foreach language and depend on a number of factors.
