According to Dixon's typological model, if an agglutinative language has a noun classification system, it should have gender, not classifiers. How- ever, the agglutinative Turkic languages do not have gender. Moreover, Uzbek, a Turkic language of Central Asia, requires that nouns be specified in order to be counted, and, just like Mandarin or Thai (and other typical "classifier" languages) and Russian or English (and other typical "gender" or "nonclassifier" languages), it has several different grammatically motivated strategies, including classifying specifiers, for accomplishing the specification. It is shown that Uzbek does have classifiers and, accordingly, constitutes a counterexample to Dixon's model.
