Abstract:

This volume brings together studies in the domain of weak referentiality, the
phenomenon that a definite or indefinite noun phrase lacks its usual
referential force. Several papers investigate syntactic or semantic properties
of indefinite noun phrases, such as modality, number neutrality, narrow scope,
incorporation, predication, and case marking, and that in a range of languages
(Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, German, Papiamentu, Russian). Other
papers deal with weakly referential definite noun phrases in various languages
(Basque, Dutch, English, French) involving scrambling, modification,
possession, and accessibility. The papers demonstrate a range of empirical
methods and theoretical models. This volume will not only be of interest to
researchers and students in syntax and semantics, but also in
psycholinguistics and language typology.
