The original hypothesis is related to the idea that the meaning of the number-words “one”, “two” and “three” is supported by the conceptual framework of grammatical numbers, rather than that of integers (Sarnecka, Kamenskaya, Yamana, Ogura &amp; Yudovina, 2006).
 To that end the counting abilities of Spanish and Basque monolingual children and Spanish-Basque bilingual children are tested, because the Spanish and Basque languages express grammatical number in different ways (Perea, Urkia, Davis, Agirre &amp; Carreiras, 2006).
 On the one hand, the findings are in line with the initial hypothesis and with Sarnecka's work (Sarnecka et al., 2006), and on the other hand with a growing body of evidence that shows that the meaning of the count list appears from mapping numerals onto numerical cognitive representations produced by early core systems of number (Le Corre &amp; Carey, 2007; 2008).</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">109-123</style></section></record></records></xml>
