The paper provides the first description of the borrowing of Croatian collective numerals into Northern Istro-Romanian and explores the consequences of this borrowing for the morphosyntax of the recipient language. It argues that the collective numerals under examination, which are specified as nominative plural feminine in the Slavic model, took on a different structural specification in the Romance replica, in a way that led to a restructuring of the morphosyntactic system, introducing (sub)gender overdifferentiation on just two agreement targets and, thereby, a complexification in this area of grammar. The illustration of this change is placed against the background of the other contact-induced changes that grammatical gender has undergone in Istro-Romanian during the 20th century, which have led to the borrowing of two dedicated forms in distinct inflectional cells and the rise of two separate defective gender values, each the replica of one number value of the Slavic neuter.

该论文首次描述了将克罗地亚语集体数字借用为北伊斯特罗罗马尼亚语的情况，并探讨了这种借用对接受语言的形态句法的影响。它认为，在斯拉夫模型中被指定为主格复数阴性的集体数字在罗曼斯复制品中采用了不同的结构规范，从而导致了形态句法系统的重组，引入了（子）性别仅在两个一致目标上的过度分化，从而导致该语法领域的复杂化。这种变化的例证是在 20 世纪伊斯特罗罗马尼亚语中语法性别发生的其他接触引起的变化的背景下进行的，
