Sommario/riassunto

This text addresses developments in the study of quantifier phrases, nominalizations, and the linking definite determiner. It presents ideas at the syntax-morphology, syntax-semantics, and lexicon-morphology interfaces and advances understanding of how quantification, definiteness, and nominalizations are encoded in grammar.
