SUMMARY:Renewing a Dynamic Cognitive Philology of Numerals
DESCRIPTION:In his 1935 book The psycho-biology of language\, the lingui
 st George Kingsley Zipf introduced the concept of dynamic p
 hilology\, which he hoped would integrate the formal and quan
 tifiable aspects of the psychological sciences with the phil
 ologist's concern with the social and cultural contexts of s
 peakers\, writers\, and their linguistic productions. Yet Zipf
 's modern impact has largely been in large-scale statistical
  analyses of word frequencies in corpus linguistics and psyc
 holinguistics\, while many humanists are rightly skeptical of
  anything calling itself philology that is divorced from soc
 ial context. The present paper uses material from the study
  of numeral systems - a core subject of traditional philolog
 y - to propose a different configuration of "dynamic philolo
 gy".
