本文将讨论数词pne成为单数不定名词标记的看似普遍的过程。这种发展在日耳曼语、罗曼语、汉语、夏尔巴语、匈牙利语、新阿拉姆语、波斯语、土耳其语和各种美洲印第安语和南岛语中得到了独立的证明。它也是所有克里奥尔语的标志，这一事实强调了这一特征的人类普遍性（Bickerton，1975）。我认为这种发展是通过几个步骤进行的，并将主要使用以色列希伯来语的数据来说明这种发展的早期第一步。同样的早期步骤在所有克里奥尔语中得到证实，包括汉语、夏尔巴语、土耳其语、新阿拉姆语、波斯语和其他语言。这种发展的一个中间阶段可以在一些罗曼语中找到，如西班牙语和意大利语。而法语、英语和德语则代表了这一历时连续体的最新，也许是沿着的最后阶段。由于以色列希伯来语的这一发展是最近的，不被传统的语法学家所承认，他们不区分以色列语言连续体的各个子层次（圣经，米示拿，塔木德，文学，非正式等），一个必须强调的是，这里的希伯来语数据只涉及最不正式的nativespeakerdialect我指的是“街头希伯来语”。这是一种方言
In this paper I will discuss the seemingly universal process by which the numeraV'pne' becomes a marker for Singular-indefinite nouns. Such a development is attested independently in Germanic, Romance, Mandarin, Sherpa, Hungarian, Neo-Aramaic, Persian, Turkish and various Amerindian and Austronesian languages. It is also a hallmark of all Creole languages, a fact which underscores the human-universal nature of this feature (Bickerton, 1975). I will suggest that this development proceeds via a number of steps, and will use mostly data from Israeli Hebrew to illustrate the early first step of this development. The same early step is attested in all Creoles, in Mandarin, Sherpa, Turkish, Neo-Aramaic, Persian and others. An intermediate stage in this development may be found in some Romance languages, such äs Spanish and Italian. While French, English and German represent the latest, perhaps the terminal stage along this diachronic continuum. Since this development in Israeli Hebrew isrecent and unrecognized by traditional grammarians, who do not distinguish between the various sublevels of the Israeli speech continuum (Biblical, Mishnaic, Talmudic, literary, informal, etc.), one must stress that the Hebrew data here pertain only to the least-formal nativespeakerdialect I refer to äs "Street Hebrew". It is a dialect spoken
