Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Culturally specified numbers or numeratives have great significance in our life. People from ancient times believed in their magic power and created concepts connected with them. If we can reveal the factors, which influenced on formation of definite number concept, we would reveal national, historical essence of nation. This would help us to understand cultural specific features and peculiarities in the world perception of each culture. Therefore, we tried to find out factors which impacted on formation of numerative seven and analyzed semantics of numerative seven in different contexts. Results of analysis can used as background data for translator and it will help to overcome extra-linguistic barriers during process of translation. The data are restricted to cultural cutoms, traditions, religious ceremonies, phrasal verbs and proverbs. At the end of work there are given suggestions to interpret word combinations from Kazakh into English and from English into Kazakh.
