    Having previously defined abstract numeration systems associated with infinite ordered regular languages [\textit{P. B. A. Lecomte} and \textit{M. Rigo}, Theory Comput. Syst. 34, No. 1, 27--44 (2001; Zbl 0969.68095)] and having extended them for representing real numbers [same authors, Theory Comput. Syst. 35, No. 1, 13--38 (2002; Zbl 0993.68050)], the authors study real numbers whose abstract representation is ultimately periodic. They give syntactic properties of the corresponding words. Furthermore, they show tight links between classical \(\Theta\)-expansions and abstract \(L\)-numerations in the case where \(L\) is the language of all representations of integers in a linear Bertrand numeration system associated with a Pisot number \(\Theta\).
