[Lingtyp] Classifier without numerals

[JOO, Ian [Student]]

Dear all,

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

From Hong Kong,
Ian
