Extending the Limits of Counting in Oceania: Adapting Tools for Numerical Cognition to Cultural Needs
Short or object-specific counting sequences in a language are generally regarded as early steps in the evolution from premathematical conceptions to greater abstraction and often as cognitively deficient. This paper scrutinizes the main numeration principles in some of the occasionally referenced instances from Melanesia and Polynesia to show that neither assumption holds categorically. The ana...
