Numeral (linguistics)

In linguistics, a numeral is a member of a word class (or sometimes even a part of speech) designating numbers, such as the English word 'two' and the compound 'seventy-seven'.

Identifying numerals

Numerals may be attributive, as in two dogs, or pronominal, as in I saw two (of them).

Many words of different parts of speech indicate number or quantity. Quantifiers do not enumerate, or designate a specific number, but give another, often less specific, indication of amount. Examples are words such as every, most, least, some, etc. There are also number words which enumerate but are not a distinct part of speech, such as 'dozen', which is a noun, 'first', which is an adjective, or 'twice', which is an adverb. Numerals enumerate, but in addition have distinct grammatical behavior: when a numeral modifies a noun, it may replace the article: the/some dogs played in the park → twelve dogs played in the park. (Note that *dozen dogs played in the park is not grammatical, so 'dozen' is not a numeral.)

Howard Vincent O'Brien

Howard Vincent O’Brien was an American novelist and journalist best known for his memoir Wine, Women and War and his columns for the Chicago Daily News, “All Things Considered” and “Footnotes.” O’Brien was born in Chicago in 1888, where he lived for his entire life, save for his time at Yale University and fighting in World War I.

O’Brien worked as an editor of the Printer's Ink magazine, and moved on from this endeavor to found Art magazine before becoming a first lieutenant of artillery in WWI. By 1920, he had written several novels, including Trodden Gold, An Abandoned Woman, and his anonymous autobiography, Wine, Women, and War. He became the literary editor of the Chicago Daily News in 1928, where he also contributed the column “All Things Considered,” which he wrote until his death in 1947.

Thirty is the third studio album by Australian recording artist Anthony Callea. It was released on 26 April 2013, by ABC Music.

Background

Thirty is Callea's first studio album signed with ABC Music. The album contains a collection of inspirational songs that embrace the artists and music that had influenced him over the years, as well as some original tracks.Thirty includes ten covers along with two originals, "My All" and "I'll Be the One".

Callea said of the album:

"A lot of these songs I’ve sung in a live environment, but I’ve never actually recorded. I wanted to have the opportunity to record them, call the album ‘Thirty’ and then put a couple of originals on it too. The new songs have been sitting in my iTunes folder for years and I’ve just been waiting for the right time to have them part of a body of work that I’m really proud of". Callea said that each song on this album has a special significance to him, "These are songs that mean something to me, whether it's melodically or the lyrics behind it or the artist singing it,"
