متن کاملDefiniteness and implicatures in Tagalog∗
The use of an indefinite NP often implies that the NP’s descriptive content is instantiated by more than one individual.

However, the simplicity of such a lexicon can make formulating rules that are succinct and that capture grammatical regularities impossible. In this paper I propose that adding more informa...
