The article reveals lexical and word building categories of quantity of adjectival lexis. They are expressed and opposed by word building means: ending - endless, paired - unpaired, exact - inexact, the indefinite big - the indefinite little, embodied - mataphorized, present - absent. Some suffixes and prefixes, as well as numerous numeral and adjectival bases within composites are the main means to differentiate quantity. Borrowed bases, which are means to express quantity, supplement numbers of words with original bases; they are primarily used in terminology.
