The history of numeral classifiers in Teiwa (Papuan) 330 $aNumeral systems of the Greater Awyu family of Papuan languages are the topic of this paper. Extended body-part systems that employ the fingers, parts of the arm and head are used by most languages in this family. Body-part based numeral systems of this type are only found in parts of New Guinea and Australia and are therefore of great interest for the typology of numeral systems. They are closed systems, with 23, 25 or 27 as highest number in the languages of the Greater Awyu family. They are also interesting because of the role of conventional gestures to distinguish the primary body-part mea 410 0$aStudies in Language Companion Series 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNumber 606 $aSemantics (Philosophy) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNumber. 615 0$aSemantics (Philosophy) 676 $a499.12 702 $aStorch$b Anne 702 $aDimmendaal$b Gerrit J. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816045003321 996 $aNumber-constructions and semantics$91384204 997 $aUNINA
