“…In Dolgan, there are two instances of dual marking in the first person, but not in the second person and neither with items lower on the animacy hierarchy. Within the Turkic language family, this pattern is exceptional; seemingly parallel patterns in Sakha (Yakut) and South Siberian languages are rather instances of inclusive vs. exclusive first person (see Nevskaya 2005). In Chulym Turkic, both free and bound person markers are irregularly formed in the first person (e.g.…”

This paper investigates the linguistic expression of number in seven languages from Western and Central Siberia. In a first step the number system of each language is described in detail, and afterwards the most relevant convergences and divergences of the languages are dealt with. Three particularly interesting phenomena are discussed in more detail: First, it is shown that the concept of general number, denoting noun forms underspecified for number, is able to account for a range of related phenomena (unmarked noun forms after numerals, nouns denoting paired objects). Second, singulatives in Selkup, Ket and partly Eastern Khanty are analyzed, whereby it is argued that their similar morphosyntactic and grammaticalization patterns allow for analyzing them as a contact phenomenon. Third, two splits on the animacy hierarchy between the first and second person in Dolgan as well as Chulym Turkic are presented. Finally, the results are evaluated against a broader areal-typological background, whereby it is shown that the category of number does not support any larger areal groupings within Western and Central Siberia, but that the analyzed languages rather adhere to patterns of number marking present all over Northern Eurasia.
