CÂTEVA ASPECTE CONTROVERSATE ALE NUMERALULUI ÎN LIMBA ROMÂNĂ
SOME CONTROVERSIAL ASPECTS OF THE NUMERAL IN THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: The numeral represents for the Romanian language a part of speech with a special situation, according to the fact that the linguists have not agreed on its grammatical status yet. Some linguists support the idea that the numeral, by its specific particularities may form a freestanding grammatical class, while others advocate for the idea that manifesting the values of other parts of speech (adjective, noun, adverb), the numeral cannot represent itself an independent form of speech. In the present article we brought into attention some aspects related to the controversial statute of the numeral, trying to synthesize the opinions of some specialists in the domain. We stopped the analysis on some elements of morphology of the numeral and on some problems of the syntax that this part of speech brings about, without pretending that we succeeded to entirely clarify the controversies about the numeral.
