The Nominal Structure in Slavic and Beyond

by Lilia Schürcks (Editor), Anastasia Giannakidou (Editor), Urtzi Etxeberria (Editor)

Overview

The contributions in this volume shed new light on the discussion of whether the DP hypothesis applies universally or not. The issue is prominent not only for Slavic languages. Drawing on evidence from many other languages, Greek, East Asian, and Basque among them, the book has important implications for answering fundamental questions about the nature of definiteness and quantification.
