Summary/Abstract: In this paper, dependant numerical qualification is investigated as a specific type of qualification. Its occurance in languaage is depicted and possibilities of stating quantitative – qualitative meaning through number as numerical linguistic unit are examined. Numerical quantifier is modfier on the basis of which dependant numerical qualification is divided into premodifying and postmodifying qualification. Congruent and incongruent depenant numerical qualification are discussed. The criteria for setting of array of semantic types of postmodifying dependant numerical qualification are determined. We realise tha the parametric size cannot be the only criterion for determination of its semantic types. The paper is based on the analysis of numerical qualification in noun phrases and adjective phrases. The examples in the analysis are not exclusively related to a certaim corpus; instead, they were taken from various sources for the purpose of obtaining data as complete as possible on dependant numerical qualification as semantic language category as well as data on manners of functioning of numerical quantifier in language in general and its status in grammar books.
