Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to provide a unified analysis of de nominals in French and noncanonical genitive nominals in Russian. Unlike previous literature that relies on partitivity, quantification and case assignment, we argue that a unified formal account can be substantiated by guaranteeing a uniform syntactic analysis of weak indefinite expressions not based on quantification, a semantic dependency of de nominals and non-canonical genitives to non-veridicality, and different linearization operations at Spell-out that guarantee concatenation of words or subwords (French de*n, Russian n⊕gen).

Keywords

French de, indefiniteness, non-veridicality, Russian genitive, Spell-out
