Abstract:

The following theoretical-empirical points on the DP are discussed: Article
and its referential-anaphoric properties by Abraham (Determiners in
Centering Theory); Bartra (On bare NPs in Old Spanish and Catalan);
identification of all functional nominal categories by Stvan (Bare singular
count nouns); Kupisch & Koops (Specificity and negation); Jäger (History of
German indefinite determiners); typological comparison of the interaction
of nominal and verbal determination by Abraham (Discourse-functional
crystallization of the or­ig­inal demonstrative); Leiss (Covert
(in)definiteness and aspect in Old Icelandic, Goth­ic, Old High German);
Lohndal (Double definiteness during Old Norse); emergence of DP in
ontogeny/phylogeny by Osawa (DP, TP and aspect in Old English and L1
acquisition); Bittner (Early functions of definites in L1 acquisition);
Wood (Demonstratives and possessives emergent from Old English); Bauer
((in)defin­ite articles in Indo-European) and Stark (Variation in nominal
indefiniteness in Romance).
