The first comprehensive treatment of grammatical number in Welsh - an intriguing, yet relatively neglected area in the study of number phenomena. Comprises major contributions to the study of grammatical number based on a new corpus collected from Middle Welsh texts and a reassessment of data from Old and Modern WelshApproaches number in Welsh from a cross-linguistic perspective, providing data that can be used by Welsh linguists, Celticists, and non-specialized linguists with no previous knowledge of the languageOffers new answers to whether certain noun types are number categories and explores the significance of literary genre to the study of older language stagesIntegrates both diachronic and typological perspectives, and is based on the full corpus available here: https://zenodo.org/record/3632585#.XjgzwHtS8uUIncludes new findings on minor numbers, mass nouns and their agreement and the loss of dual number which will prove to be of interest to all linguists
Silva Nurmio received her BA and MPhil degrees from Aberystwyth University before completing her PhD at the University of Cambridge. She spent a year during her doctoral studies as a visiting researcher at Philipps-Universitat Marburg, Germany. Her MPhil and doctoral theses focused on Welsh (Celtic, Indo-European), with comparative work with the other Celtic languages. During her first postdoctoral position at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies she started broadening her work on grammatical number to general linguistics and typology. Her current postdoctoral project at the University of Helsinki looks at the typology of singulatives.
