Letter endings of numerals in electronic communication: a contrastive view

Abstract

In this study, I compare different ways of how numbers and graphemes do not correspond to each other by notation of numerals. Primary attention is dedicated to Slavic languages (Czech, Slovak, Polish and especially Russian), secondary attention is dedicated to Germanic languages (English, German).

This uncorrelation means breaking of orthography rules (or writing system) in certain languages. However, a norm has not been established for this phenomenon in certain languages yet.
