Abstract

Words and combinations expressing indefinite quantity in English and Azerbaijani languages are expressed by indefinite quantitative indicators ― quantifiers in different contexts as a result of objective and subjective reasons. In-depth study of the process of speech activity can be achieved only through the method of statistical analysis. The use of statistical analysis methods plays an important role in determining the frequency of quantifiers in the compared languages. For this purpose, the frequency of indefinite numerals (in Azerbaijani)/ quantifiers (in English) in different materials involved in the study from both languages was analyzed on the basis of different formulas and diagrams.

Keywords:

quantifier, numeral, indefiniteness, frequency, statistical analyses.
