The central question, which constitutes a subject of intense debate in the literature, is whether there is a semantic (and pragmatic) difference between these two kinds of indefinites. It will be argued in favour of such a distinction. This claim is supported by different properties which these two kinds of Bulgarian indefinites display concerning their scope behaviour in opaque contexts, the choice of discourse anaphora, the use of wh-words, and the possibility of clitic doubling. Additional evidence for the claimed distinction is provided by the intensifying function of edin 'one' used in predicative NPs in Bulgarian. The paper discusses how the difference claimed can be accounted for. Showing that the distinction specific vs. non-specific is not sufficient to explain the data, it will be proposed to draw the line of distinction between the two kinds of indefinite NPs in terms of type vs. token reference. 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$vv. 141. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNoun phrase 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aLinguistic change 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xNoun phrase. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aLinguistic change. 676 $a415/.54 701 $aKabatek$b Johannes$0893590 701 $aWall$b Albert$c(Linguist)$0893591 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968656103321 996 $aNew perspectives on bare noun phrases in romance and beyond$94344660 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04550oam 22011414 450 001 9910958647203321 005 20250426110908.0 010 $a9786613831095 010 $a9781462355853 010 $a1462355854 010 $a9781452707761 010 $a1452707766 010 $a9781283518642 010 $a1283518643 010 $a9781451909241 010 $a1451909241 035 $a(CKB)3360000000444033 035 $a(EBL)3014316 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000939920 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11491939 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000939920 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10937616 035 $a(PQKB)11570966 035 $a(OCoLC)698585494 035 $a(IMF)WPIEE2006211 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3014316 035 $a(IMF)WPIEA2006211 035 $aWPIEA2006211 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000444033 100 $a20020129d2006 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Monetary Policy Regime and Banking Spreads in Barbados /$fLaura Valderrama, Wendell Samuel 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cInternational Monetary Fund,$d2006. 215 $a1 online resource (26 p.) 225 1 $aIMF Working Papers 300 $a"September 2006." 311 08$a9781451864717 311 08$a145186471X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 21-23). 327 $a""Contents""; ""I.

The paper finds that interest rate spreads for Barbados are higher than would be suggested by its macroeconomic performance. Banking concentration and bank-specific variables, including bank size and provisions for nonperforming loans, do not have an important role in explaining variations in bank spreads. Rather, it appears that monetary policy variables, such as reserve requirements and capital controls, are the most important determinants of spreads. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/211 606 $aBanks and banking$zBarbados 606 $aMonetary policy$zBarbados 606 $aInterest rates$zBarbados 606 $aBank credit$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aCommercial banks$2imf 606 $aCredit ratings$2imf 606 $aCredit$2imf 606 $aDeposit rates$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aInterest rates$2imf 606 $aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 607 $aBarbados$2imf 615 0$aBanks and banking 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aInterest rates 615 7$aBank credit 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aCommercial banks 615 7$aCredit ratings 615 7$aCredit 615 7$aDeposit rates 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aInterest rates 615 7$aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aMortgages 700 $aValderrama$b Laura$01815686 701 $aSamuel$b Wendell$01595846 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bWestern Hemisphere Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958647203321 996 $aThe Monetary Policy Regime and Banking Spreads in Barbados$94371152 997 $aUNINA
