Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the quantitative definiteness of objects and phenomena, which is treated as a semantic feature. Attention is drawn to the denotational means of expressing the quantitative characteristic and its parameters, which are interpreted through comparison and opposition. The specific expression of the features ‘plurality‘, ‘singularity‘, ‘collectiveness‘, etc, through the derivational means of language is presented in connection with its relation to the means of grammatical expression of quantitative definiteness. On the basis of examples from speech, the paper offers an explanation of the deviations from the norm of the literary language, which are due to the asymmetry between the “logical“ and the “grammatical“ in syntactic connection.
