The detailed description of two numeral classifiers ( grain and branch ) shows that Nuristani languages conform to the general pattern of grammaticalizing nouns referring to plants or their parts as classifiers. The Nuristani system of nominal number marking in the direct case appears to be in harmony with the tendency that overt number marking on nouns is not obligatory in languages that use numeral classifiers. The two cases examined here are both shape-based sortal classifiers: the classifier grain occurs with items conceived of as small, round objects, while branch is used with items or phenomena that involve the perceptual schema of splitting, diverging. The lexical origin of these classifiers is transparent, and the emergence of the classifier function appears to be an innovation native to Nuristani. true true 2023 true true true false true false NONE 2026-03-28 false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false false 2023-06-12T14:01:41.762+0000 1 5 0 1 0 false Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 107032243 /api/authorship/107032243 Hegedűs, Irén [Hegedűs, Irén (Nyelvtörténet), szerző] 1 1.0 true false false Author 10012561 /api/author/10012561 Hegedűs Irén (Nyelvtörténet) Hegedűs Irén true 10012561 true Hegedűs Irén true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Szerző 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 23237808 /api/publicationidentifier/23237808 DOI: 10.1515/jsall-2023-1001 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 DOI true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true 10.1515/jsall-2023-1001 https://doi.org/10.1515/jsall-2023-1001 false true PublicationIdentifier 23237809 /api/publicationidentifier/23237809 Egyéb URL: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jsall-2023-1001/html PlainSource 40 /api/publicationsource/40 Egyéb URL PublicationSourceType 10006 /api/publicationsourcetype/10006 Link true true true Egyéb URL Other URL @@@ true true 40 true https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jsall-2023-1001/html https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jsall-2023-1001/html false true Reference 39316279 /api/reference/39316279 1.
