Abstract
Numerals are the linguistic representation of numbers. In some languages, numerals have distinctive features that make them to be considered a word class. Moreover, in linguistic analyses, numerals are generally studied in simple (single-digit) forms, and the fact that numerals have an internal structure and can potentially express an infinite number of numbers is ignored. In this study, we investigated Persian numerals and showed that numerals in Persian are not a word class. We also showed that numerals have an internal structure consisting of two groups: counters and decifiers. Counters are a closed class of quantifiers that cyclically determine the quantity of a decifier or a countee. Decifiers are an open class of classifiers that determine the scale of a counter in the numeral system and its positional notation. The combination of these two groups can produce an infinite number of numerals in Persian.
