More on NPs Marked for Speaker Ignorance

[from "Line Mikkelsen":http://people.ucsc.edu/~lmikkels/ at UC Santa Cruz]

bq. I read your posting on April 23, 2003 about noun phrases marked for speaker ignorance and thought I would send you references to two other papers on this topic. Both were presented at SALT 12 in San Diego.

bq. 1. The first is on French NPs like un N quelconque',quelque’, and `un certain’ and it’s by Jacques Jayez and Lucia Tovena: J. Jayez and L.M. Tovena, Determiners and (Un)certainty. Proceedings of SALT 12, CLC Publications, 2002. It is also available for download (ps file) from “Tovena’s page”:http://www.univ-lille3.fr/recherche/silex/tovena/.

bq. 2. The second one is on English a(n)',some’, and `a certain’ and it is by Donka Farkas: Farkas, Donka (2002) Varieties of indefinites. Proceedings of SALT 12, CLC Publications, 2002. It is also available for download (pdf file) from “Donka’s page”:http://ling.ucsc.edu/~farkas/papers.html.
