Sull’articolo determinativo sloveno

Abstract

Among the different uses shared by articles in other languages which have already grammaticalized this part of speech, one in particular should be emphasized. It is the indefinite use, where the colloquial definite article can be preceded by an indefinite modifier such as an indefinite article. Languages that have been influencing the Slovene language do not share this particular use, therefore this leads us to the conclusion that the Slovenian article has chosen an independent course and its development has not been influenced by other languages.
