Definiteness - Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics
Lyons, Christopher (University of Cambridge)
Definiteness is the concept expressed by definite articles such as 'the', and also by demonstratives ('this', that') and personal pronouns. This 1999 textbook surveys such expressions in many languages, and examines theoretical literature on this aspect of grammar, to establish what definiteness is and how languages can express it.
