term ‘partitive’ has been used in linguistic literature in reference to
different types of linguistic items (morphemes and/or constructions). In the
first place, partitive may refer to partitive nominal constructions, codifying
the part-whole relation, as in <i>I drank
some of the wine from that bottle</i>, or to pseudo-partitive nominal
constructions, as in <i>I drank a glass of
wine</i> (Koptjevskaja-Tamm 2001: 527). <span></span></span></p>

contrast to these two well-described types of construction, other items that
are also referred to as partitives have, until recently, never received a
unified treatment, in spite of striking similarities. Such partitive elements
include partitive cases, as in Finnish or Estonian, partitive determiners, as
in Basque, French and Italian, and partitive pronouns, as in Germanic and
Romance languages. <span></span></span></p>

number of recent publications have highlighted cross-linguistic and typological
similarities of partitive elements, including cases, partitively used genitives
or ablatives, determiners, and pronouns (Luraghi/Huumo 2014, Ihsane/Stark fothc.).
Research on the rise of partitive elements has shown their relation to other
linguistic items and constructions. For example, the French partitive article is
the outcome of the fusion of the genitive/ablative preposition <i>de</i> with the definite article, and its
diachrony can be traced down in historical sources (Carlier 2007). In in Finnic
languages (Wickman 1955: 27), the partitive case ending has been shown to have
originated out of older ablative cases or postpositions. The partitive use of
the genitive case is typical of Ancient Indo-European languages as well. Remarkably,
some of these languages feature a separate ablative case, the development is
partly different, and the partitive meaning seems to be directly connected with
the genitive, not necessarily involving the ablative (see Luraghi/Kittilä
2014:49-53). Hence, more research on diachrony is needed. Research on language
contact suggests that the extension of partitive elements may be an areal
phenomenon (</span><span lang="EN-GB">Bjarnadóttir/De Smit 2013, </span><span>Ser</span><span>ž</span><span>ant
2015), and that partitive elements may constitute a characteristic but up to
now not acknowledged feature of Standard Average European (Luraghi/De
Smijt/Igártua forthc.). In the Oceanic area available indefinite partitives
show a different extension and possibly different diachronic developments from
European partitive elements (Budd 2014), which would also be worth
investigating more in depth.<span></span></span></p>

dialectal variation in virtually all areas in which languages show partitive
elements is under-investigated, and especially non-standard varieties deserve
more accurate and in-depth treatment. In several areas, data are missing where
native speakers of the dialects are disappearing. Research on contact among
languages of different genetic affiliation and contact among varieties,
including standard and sub-standard, of the same language is of paramount
importance for the understanding of both diachronic change and synchronic
variation (e.g. Cerruti/Regis forthc.). Partitive determiners may exist in
Luxembourgish, possibly as a contact phenomenon, but available descriptions are
superficial, and confuse different constructions. Romance languages possessing
partitive determiners also have (clitic) partitive pronominals (Ihsane 2013),
but from a comparative perspective it is unclear whether partitive pronominals
that also occur in Germanic varieties (cf. Glaser 1992), have the same
syntactic distribution and meaning(s) as Modern Romance ones<i>.</i> In this perspective, learners’
varieties also deserve attention, as they can help shed light on how
interference between languages with and without partitive elements operates.<span></span></span></p>
