<p>utrecht encore</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Definiteness restriction''' is the restriction that the subject of a sentence beginning with [[expletive]] ''there'', must be an indefinite noun phrase, or in Milsark's (1977) terms, a [[weak noun phrase]]. The definiteness restriction is shown by the contrast between (i) and (ii): the [[strong noun phrase]]s in (i) are not compatible with expletive ''there''.<br /> <br /> (i) a *There is John/the man/every man in the room<br /> b *There are they/the people/most people in the room<br /> (ii) a There is a man/one man in the room<br /> b There are men/two men/many men in the room<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Definiteness+restriction&amp;lemmacode=1064 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Milsark, G.L. 1977.
