In this article we describe our study and the initial experiments conducted in daycares where we explore the influence of the presence of grammatical dual in the language of the environment on the acquisition of number words. We were invited to write this article as the editor of the journal Mathematics in School thought the topic of our research could be of interest to the high school and elementary school teachers of Mathematics (due to the obvious connection between mathematics and the acquisition of number). The article describes the tasks used and gives a superficial presentation of the main research questions and some results. This article is relevant also from the point of presenting our research to the general public as it is in a way a popular science article.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2852347Members of the project group gave 2 invited lecture on the topi cof this project in 2013: MARUŠIČ, Franc. Number morphology as a source of early mathematical content. Brno: Masarykova univerza v Brnu, 28. 6. 2013 MARUŠIČ, Franc, ŽAUCER, Rok. Grammatical morphology as a source of early mathematical concepts. Videm: Università di Udine, 14.11. 2013. One of these lectures was given before the official start of the project. As explained above in the project report, we have started with the studies the project consists of, well before the official begining of the project and we even had results to talk about, before the official start of the project. So since the two talks mentioned here were both on the topi cof this project, they are included here.
