Indefinite pronouns: A review of Haspelmath (1997)
Certain properties of indefinite pronouns have received considerable attention in the literature.

Patterns of crosslinguistic variation in the expression of word meaning are informative about semantic organization, but most methods to study this are labor intensive and obscure the gradient nature of concepts. We propose an automatic method for extracting crosslinguistic co-categorization patterns from parallel texts, and explore the properties of the data as a potential source for automatic...
متن کاملExemplar semantics through parallel corpora Something about indefinite pronouns
We can determine ‘similarity’ of meaning typologically.
