TL;DR: This article found a remarkable structural similarity between this system and the Egyptian demotic numerals and proposed that trade between Asia Minor and Egypt provided the context in which the Greek numerals were adopted from Egyptian models.
Abstract: Traditionally, it has been assumed that the Greek alphabetic numerals were independently invented in the sixth century BC. However, the author finds a remarkable structural similarity between this system and the Egyptian demotic numerals. He proposes that trade between Asia Minor and Egypt provided the context in which the Greek numerals were adopted from Egyptian models.

TL;DR: In the early stages of this new written language, represented by a group of homogeneous Cyrillic and Glagolitic manuscripts, a later stage exhibiting regional divergence in language sounds and forms is named Church Slavic as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: One of the most momentous events in the history of the Slavic peoples was the ninth-century creation by Constantine, his brother Methodius, and their disciples of two alphabets: Cyrillic and Glagolitic. Details about who invented which alphabet are hazy but the motivation for this great achievement is clear: the translation of Greek texts of the New Testament into the new Slavic letters for missionary work among the Slavs of Greater Moravia and then in other parts of the Slavic world. The early stage of this new written language, represented by a group of homogeneous Cyrillic and Glagolitic manuscripts, is called Old Church Slavic; a later stage exhibiting regional divergence in language sounds and forms is named Church Slavic. The two alphabets were used in the territories of the Croats and the Serbs, Cyrillic consistently by the Serbs, while the Croats preferred Glagolitic and vernacular alphabets based on Latin letters. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed the development of Croatian and Serbian nationalistic movements that invariably affected language and alphabet usage, in some cases maintaining digraphia and in others favoring monographia.

TL;DR: Serbo-Croatian is read, to a greater or lesser degree depending on locale, in two alphabets, the Roman and the Cyrillic, and it is shown that searching for a letter in the other alphabet is faster than searching for one in the same alphabet, suggesting that alphabet categorization may precede letter identification.
Abstract: Serbo-Croatian is read, to a greater or lesser degree depending on locale, in two alphabets, the Roman and the Cyrillic. While most letters are solely members of one or the other alphabet, some letters are shared and of these, some are ambiguous in that they are read differently in the two alphabets. The order in which the alphabets are acquired depends on geography: in the eastern part of the country the order is Cyrillic then Roman; in the western part of the country the order is Roman then Cyrillic. A series of six experiments is reported examining the relation, in processing terms, between the two alphabets. Evidence is presented for a processing asymmetry. Processing the letters of the first-acquired alphabet is more similar to processing the letters of the second-acquired alphabet than vice versa. Additionally, it is shown that searching for a letter in the other alphabet is faster than searching for a letter in the same alphabet, suggesting that alphabet categorization may precede letter identifica...

TL;DR: A structure for phrases involving simple cardinal numerals' is proposed along with a set of rules required for deriving the basic constructions, which allows a fruitful approach to the complexities of numeral phrases in different Slavonic languages.
Abstract: IN this paper a structure for phrases involving simple cardinal numerals' is proposed along with a set of rules required for deriving the basic constructions. This allows a fruitful approach to the complexities of numeral phrases in different Slavonic languages and highlights some of the remaining problems. These theoretical devices will be introduced with reference to Russian (I) and their effectiveness tested on Serbo-Croat (II) and Polish (III).
