Abstract
The Russian cardinal numeral construction presents symptomatic variations of behavior with respect to the category of animacy. The present paper addresses these variations using data from the Russian National Corpus and the Internet and in it the following conclusion is drawn: the numeral construction is an important fragment of Russian grammar in which the category of animacy is not completely grammaticalized, which means that it conserves its semantic status.
