summaryExpressions that make reference to numbers are used both in natural language and in the language of mathematics. In this presentation we take a closer look at the syntactic and semantic properties of (complex) numerals and number-related terms in natural language, also crosslinguistically, and address the question in what way their linguistic behavior in natural language may  shed light on the ontological status of numbers itself.
