Abstract

The present paper attempts to address the issue of interaction of language and other cognitive capacities. In particular, we would like to highlight some parallelisms between certain linguistic constructions and the basic mathematical capacity to enumerate cardinal numbers. Such parallelisms will be drawn within the generalised agreement framework as outlined in Drienkó (2004a, b). They will be explicitly represented by agreement strategy ABORDER. We discuss such constructions as Old Georgian Genitive, Chinese number names, Dutch Coordination Phrases, and enumeration of digit expressions (numbers). A model for the word-digit interface will also be given.
