The numeral in modern english

-at
Words of the category of state may be used as objective pre­dicatives.
She was saying that she intended to leave him entirely alone again. (Wilson)
Words of the category of state may be sometimes used as attrib­utes. But unlike adjettives they cannot be placed before the words they modify. As attributes they may be only used in post-position:
The father and mother dolls, who sprawled very stiff as though they had fainted in the drawing-room, and their two little children asleep upstairs were really too big for the doll's house. (Mansfield).
When combined with a counted object, most numerals have the function of a restrictive attribute. The node for the counted noun is the governing node and the dependent node is the node representing the numeral. The node representing the numeral gets the RSTR functor.
Examples:
Mám pět.RSTR domů a tři.RSTR auta. (=I've got five houses and three cars) Fig. 8.178
naši tři.RSTR nejlepší hráči (=lit. our three best players)
Kolik.RSTR lidí přišlo? (=How many people came?)
náš druhý.RSTR nejlepší hráč (=our second best player)
Hodně.RSTR lidí se nechalo nalákat. (=Many people let themselves to be attracted)
The following classes of numerals are analyzed as dependent nodes with the RSTR functor when combined with a counted object:
definite cardinal numerals: "one" through "ninety-nine".
For example: jeden (=one), dva (=two), devadesát devět (=ninety-nine).
indefinite cardinal numerals with the exception of those that have the meaning of a "container"; see Section 10.1.2, "Numerals with the meaning of a "container"".
For example: několik (=several), tolik (=so many/much), kolik (=how many/much).
all adjectival numerals.
For example: stý (=hundredth), několikátý (=several.ordinal), dvojí (=double/twofold), dvanáctinásobný (=twelve_times.adj), paterý (=five_kinds_of.adj), čtvero (=four_kinds_of.adj).
some other numerical expressions:
hodně (=a lot), více (=more), méně (=less), mnoho (=many/much), málo (=few/little), stejně (=as_much_as), plno (=plenty), dost (=enough).
When combined with a counted object, all the numerals under a) through d) are analyzed as adjectival (sempos=adj.quant.def or adj.quant.indef; see Section 6.2.4, "Definite quantificational semantic adjectives" and Section 6.2.5, "Indefinite quantificational semantic adjectives").
Annotation of numerals standing alone in a sentence (without a counted object). If a numeral from groups a) through d) stands alone in the sentence (without a counted object), it is analyzed according to which of the subgroups it belongs to:
cardinal numerals, numerals from a) and b), are taken to be syntactic nouns. No new node (for a counted object) is inserted into the structure. The node representing the numeral can have different functors - also one of the functors for arguments.
!!! The sempos attribute of the node representing a definite cardinal numeral (group a) is assigned the value n.quant.def. As for the nodes representing indefinite cardinal numerals, no division into adj.quant.indef and n.quant.indef was made; all indefinite cardinal numerals (group b) have the attribute sempos specified as adj.quant.indef (i.e. even in cases without a counted object). See also Section 6.2.5, "Indefinite quantificational semantic adjectives".
