The subject of this extensive corpus-based study is the
distribution and the functional role played by a total of 22
indefinite nouns in 9 key texts for Italian linguistic and literary
history dating from the late 13th to the early 16th century
(including ANovellinoA, ADecameronA, and Bembo's AProseA). The
central issue is the semantic and functional differentiation of
these indefinite forms as encountered in the texts. This is
pinpointed by way of comparison with their Latin etyma and modern
Italian equivalents. A further essential aspect is the problem of
the grammaticalization of indefinite noun determinants in Italian
and the Romance languages in general.
