Prenominal possessives with indefinites in Romance

This paper describes and compares the properties of prenominal possessives in indefinite DPs in three Romance varieties: Standard Italian (SI), Girona Catalan (GC), and a so-called “conservative dialect” of European Portuguese (CEP). It is first shown that prenominal possessives with indefinites in...

It is first shown that prenominal possessives with indefinites in both GC and CEP evaluate the possession relation, indicating that there is a close relation between the possessor and the possessum, whereas prenominal possessives in the SI [Indefinite+Poss+N] construction are (non-evaluative) unmarked possessives.
