Abstract
Classifiers are words indicating the class to which a noun belongs. They relate to properties such as animacy, humanness and shape, and typically combine with numerals and demonstratives. Classifiers are found in most languages of the world, and in many languages they constitute elaborated systems, e.g., in Chinese and many other languages of Southeast Asia. The two main types of classifiers are sortal and mensural classifiers. A sortal classifier is one which individuates whatever it refers to in terms of the kind of entity that it is. A mensural classifier is one which individuates in terms of quantity. The small system of Hungarian sortal classifiers is unique among the languages of Europe. The paper contains a distributional analysis of Hungarian classifiers, both sortal and mensural.
