Traces the history of MILLION in English. This title focuses on the shift in word class/function from noun/noun-phrase head (three millions of dollars) to determinative/determiner (three million dollars). It includes a chapter on morphosyntax/semantics that probes natural word class and function of number words and their historical categorization.
