Jeong, Haegwon. (2017). A Linguistic Typological Study on the Korean Numeral Phrases. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 25(1), 183-202. In a linguistic typological perspective, Korean has fluently developed classifiers which represent limits of abstracting the objects and an early stage of categorizing them. Therefore, it appears that the numeral phrases with repeaters or classifiers are older than the forms without a classifier. Old Korean poems first represent the number and noun interpreted as a form of the number and repeater construction. On the other hand, the basic number of Korean did not appear at the same time but developed sequentially. Number five and others in many languages have the etymological association with 'hands', but Korean numbers are probably not. The Korean number system uses the reconstructed number ten un as a base. In addition, the variation of number twenty and forty may be traces of the vigesimal numeral system.
