The aim of this overview is to describe not only how Czech numerals are formed, but also their word-forming possibilities, where they can display formal variations. This approach allows new considerations about peripherals and borders of the word class called numerals, as well as a useful formal description of numeral elemets in deriving and compounding.
This article is a counterpart to the overwiew I: definite numerals in the previ-ous number. Three kinds of indefiniteness are introduced: (1) the problematic subclass of traditional indefinite numerals in the strict sense (lexical means for giving quantities on the scale ''few-much''), the most representants of it being rather adverbs of measure; (2) the subclass of algebraic numerals and (3) the subclass of deictic numerals containing demonstrative, interrogative/relative and indefinite numerals in the sense of indexical indefiniteness. One group of indefinite deictics, nevímkolik and suchlike, is presented as one pole of continuum with expressions in the sentence form on the other pole. Combinations of indefinite numerals with other numerals, with other parts of speech etc., used when expressing an indefinite quantity, are mentioned as well.
V rámci filosofie věd panuje široká shoda na tom, že druhá polovina 20. století složila „labutí píseň“ pozitivismu. Milton Friedman a Paul Samuelson, dva klíčoví autoři k metodologii ekonomie v daném časovém období, přitom tento vývoj ve filosoifi vědy prý nikdy nereflektovali. Pozitivistická východiska – v prvé řadě v podobě redukcionistického přístupu – jsou tudíž stále přítomna ve vlivných teoretických konceptech rozvinutých ekonomy hlavního proudu. Značný počet autorů však v současnosti sdílí náhled, že tyto koncepty v nezanedbatelné míře přispěly k vývoji, jenž ústil ve finanční krizi, vrcholící v letech 2008 a 2009. Předkládaný článek se proto táže, zda to byla právě krize – v níž mnozí spatřují empirické zamítnutí řady pozitivistických konceptů – která napsala „labutí píseň“ pozitivismu v ekonomii hlavního proudu., It has been widely accepted that philosophers of science wrote a “swansong” for positivism during the second half of the 20th century. Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson, major contributors in the field of economic methodology at the time, the argument goes, did never reflect the demise. Therefore, positivist roots – primarily in the form of reductionist approach – are still to be found in influential theoretical concepts developed by mainstream economists. However, quite a large number of scholars currently share the view that these concepts contributed in a nonnegligible manner to the development leading to the financial crisis culminating in 2008 and 2009. the article thus asks if it is the crisis – seen by many as an empirical rejection of many positivistic concepts – that wrote a “swansong” for positivism in mainstream economics., and Lukáš Kovanda.
