Abstract:
This scientific research deals with a topical linguistic and translation problem – the category of definiteness / indefiniteness. The category is a functional-semantic, conceptual category in the Ukrainian language, and a grammatical category in the German language. That is why it is expressed differently in both languages. The article analyzes the works of leading linguists devoted to the study of issues related to the category of definiteness / indefiniteness from different points of view and on the basis of Ukrainian and German languages. The purpose of this article is to determine the mean

Abstract:
This article explores the lexical, syntactic, and morphological methods used to express the semantics of indefiniteness in the Russian and Kyrgyz languages. The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to systematize these means within the model of the functional-semantic field. At present, the category of definiteness/indefiniteness is being actively researched in various languages. This article stands out from many other similar scientific studies by presenting the semantics of indefiniteness in the Russian language in comparison with the Kyrgyz language.

Abstract:
The definiteness and indefiniteness is an important communicative category. This category is universal and is expressed in different languages by various means. There are no special indicators of definiteness / indefiniteness such as articles in the Russian language. However, these values are expressed by various means related to different levels of the language. Due to this fact, word order is an important and an interesting subject for a linguistic research. As a grammatical means, word order can convey not only information, but also the attitude to this information or communicative situatio

Abstract:
Abstract Different languages have different ways of indicating the definiteness and indefiniteness of nouns. In English, as in most languages, the category of definiteness and indefiniteness is not a grammatical category of nouns. It is rather a semantic category that is mainly conveyed by means of two articles: the definite article the and the indefinite article a/an. In Albanian, on the other hand, the category of definiteness and indefiniteness is a grammatical category realised mainly by case endings and the indefinite article një (a/an) which, along with the case endings, is used to indic

Abstract:
I wanted to devote a year of my life toward creating a building and participating in a body of research that was meaningful. My goal proved to be much more complex than originally thought, for meaning itself is ambiguous. Although ambiguous, meaning is not without definition: it is bounded by the contingency of our â cogitoâ or horizons of experience. And so I argue that if we assign meaning through a function of self reflection, than perahps a shared experience may transcend the self and reflect community.

This work aims to analyse the syntax and semantics of indefinite determiners in the dialects spoken in the Conegliano area. The research stems from the observations and results of the wide variability in the expression of indefiniteness across Italo-Romance varieties (Cardinaletti and Giusti, 2018, 2020, Giusti, 2020). The study was conducted through the submission of an online survey administered on Qualtrics mainly composed by two tests: respectively written in Italian and in the dialectal variety spoken by the author.

This thesis offers a contrastive analysis of the notion of definiteness as conveyed by the system of the article in English and Standard Arabic. Definiteness and other notions associated with it are investigated semantically and syntactically in an attempt to discover how these two languages approach such notions and when the two languages converge and diverge in this respect. To this end, corpus analysis is chosen as a means to inspect these ideas.
