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 parktwelve dogs played in the park. (Note that *dozen dogs played in the park is not grammatical, so 'dozen' is not a numeral.)

The Winnie Years

The Winnie Years is an ongoing series of children's fiction novels by American author Lauren Myracle. The first entry in the series, Eleven, was published on February 9, 2004 through Dutton Juvenile and focuses on the angst and everyday problems of tween Winnie Perry.

Of the books in the series, Myracle stated that they were her "most autobiographical books" in that she drew heavily upon her own experiences as a tween. The author has admitted that her son Jamie is the basis for the character of Ty, Winnie's younger brother, and that she has plans for a spinoff series surrounding the character.


Series synopsis

Ten

Ten is a prequel to the series and follows Winnie as she turns ten. Excited over the new responsibilities and changes that will come with her new age, the book chronicles Winnie's adventures and misadventures with her family and friends. Winnie overcomes challenges and really gets a taste of what it's like to be a 'pre-teen'

Eleven

Eleven follows Winnie as she deals with more changes, one of which concerns her best friend Amanda potentially losing interest in their friendship in favor of someone else. On top of this Winnie also has to deal with her cranky older sister and an ill crush. Sick of the issues and problems that come with getting older, Winnie vows that she won't go through any changes, despite life having other plans for her.

    Twelve

    by: Cobalt 60

    January time is not on my side
    That´s the weight of my lore
    February what can I do but hide
    I see the light once more
    March they tell me
    They sent a soulsister
    We prefer not to meet
    April is on but my trouble ain´t over
    Events tent to repeat
    May I take a plane and cross the ocean
    I wish I wasn´t here
    June is yellow I cough quite often
    A woman hails me dear How nice ;-)
    July passes as swift as an arrow
    All my friends are away
    August is hot and unpleasantly slow
    Very little to say
    September I bang my head on the wall
    The entire planet shakes
    October a month I don´t like at all
    I water my mandrakes
    November whatever I ask they say
    No did I do something wrong
    December I´ve nothing else to do
    So I write another song
