<div dir="auto">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I would like to know if there is a term for the usage of a classifier without the numeral.<br>
For example, Cantonese <em>go-jan</em> [CLF-person] `that person’ is such construction, where the classifier without the numeral is used to mark determinacy.<br>
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could point to the previous literature on this topic.</div>
