N2 09_Definite NP (Num N, N Num) contains any other marking
| Definition |
|---|
General Note: How do definite and indefinite noun numeral combinations differ in form? This is the fifth in a series of seven... To set these properties, use the examples for the contexts given in N2 01 through N2 04. Check as many "yes" values as applicable. If in doubt, just leave the value(s) unset, and contact us via email. This property is set to "yes" if the Definite NP, but not the indefinite (Num N, N Num) contains any additional marker(s) not covered by any of the other properties (definite article, demonstrative, plural). This could be an element linguists may gloss as AGR, LINKER, or perhaps some other some marker. Examples: 1. English is "no" for this property, as the definite (Num N, N Num) is not distinguished in this way from the indefinite (Num N, N Num). 2. Shupamem is “yes” for this property as the definite NP contains an additional marker pí which is absent in the indefinite NP:
