Delurking for a while just to ask a question... Is there a difference between "classifier" and "measure word"? I'm working on the Wikipedia and the "Classifier" article simply redirects to "Measure word", but according to my admittedly very little knowledge on the subject, a measure word is just a special type of classifier that is used only for counting. Are there any natlangs that use classifiers for other purposes? --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Measure_word --Pablo
