Abstract
Quantitative units in linguistics, i.e. units representing quantity, their classification, the study of counting words in linguistics, theories of scientists have been researched. Nizomiddinova, according to the quantitative meaning of numerical words, divided them into two: numeratives expressing a concrete quantity and numeratives that do not express a concrete quantity. A. Mukhammadjonov says that relative units of measurement cannot be considered exact units. Professor A.N. Kononov emphasized that some numeratives express a specific unit of measurement (gram, kilogram, meter, kilometer, liter, hectare), while others express an indefinite quantity (bag, gram, bunch, heap). P. Hamdamov divides numerals into two types according to their use: real numerals and relative numerals. Real numerals mean the exact and total quantity of words. Relative numerals express only an indefinite quantity. Information about the role of numerals in linguistics is also provided in the early written sources of the Turkic peoples.
