The representation of English articles in second language grammars: Determiners or adjectives?* (2008, background): “…determiner are argued to behave syntactically as adjectives, and that they should be categorically treated as such (Lyons, 1999; for further evidence on the adjectival status of determiner-like elements in languages without articles see Corver, 1992; Zlatić, 1997; Trenkic, 2004; Bošković, 2005).”
Acquisition of article semantics by child and adult L2-English learners* (2009, background): “Trenkic (2004, 2007), citing Corver (1992), Zlatić (1997), and Bošković (2005), among others, makes a persuasive case for the adjectival nature of Serbian determiners. A case can also be made for the adjectival nature of determiners in Russian, another Slavic language, in which determiners share mor”
Meaningful silence, meaningless sounds. (2004, unknown): “…Serbo-Croatian (and most other Slavic languages), Estonian and Finnish have no articles does not mean that they lack definiteness (cf. Lyons 1999; see also e.g. Chesterman 1991, Hiietam 2003, and the discussion of cross-linguistic variation with respect to the D(et) category in Boškovi ć 2003).”
Semantic Correlates of the NP/DP Parameter (2008, methodology): “In (3a), the movement crosses only one segment of NP. The problem does not arise in languages that lack DP (see Boskovic 2005 and Appendix 2 for an alternative account that does not appeal to phases/anti-locality).”
