Indefinite Pronouns - Oxford Studies in Typology and Linguistic Theory
Haspelmath, Martin (Department of Linguistics, Department of Linguistics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany)
This book is the first comprehensive and encyclopaedic investigation of indefinite pronouns (expressions like someone, anything, nowhere) in the languages of the world. It shows that the range of variation in the functional and formal properties of indefinite pronouns is subject to a set of universal implicational constraints, and proposes explanations for these universals.
