Determiner spreading as DP-predication

Panagiotidis, E. P. and Marinis, T. (2011) Determiner spreading as DP-predication. Studia Linguistica, 65 (3). pp. 268-298. ISSN 0039-3193 doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9582.2011.01186.x

Abstract/Summary

Determiner Spreading (DS) occurs in adjectivally modified nominal phrases comprising more than one definite article, a phenomenon that has received considerable attention and has been extensively described in Greek. This paper discusses the syntactic properties of DS in detail and argues that DS structures are both arguments and predication configurations involving two DPs. This account successfully captures the word-order facts and the distinctive interpretation of DS, while also laying the groundwork towards unifying it with other structures linking two DPs in a predicative relation.
