Numeral
From UNL Wiki
Numerals are LRUs that represent numbers.
Natural Language
In the UNLarium framework, numerals are classified as:
- cardinal (CDN): describe quantity (“two”, “three”)
- ordinal (ORD): describe position (“first”, “second”)
- partitive (PTN): describe division (“half”, “two thirds”)
- multiplicative (MLN): describe repetition (“once”, “twice”)
- distributive (DTN): describe distributions (“in pairs”, “by the dozen”)
Numeral determiners must be classified as numerals.
UNL
In UNL, numerals are to be replaced by numbers, without separators for thousands, and with "." for decimals. They are temporary UWs.
