- State-of-the-Article--
Helen de Hoop on Partitivity
"[T]he main function of partitive elements is to make certain sets or
entities accessible for quantification. In the case of ordinary partitives
this process involves restricted or contextually bounded sets whereas in
the case of other types of partitives (pseudopartitives, faded partitives,
partitive case) the set or semantic entity that has to be made available
for quantification is unrestricted or unbounded."

Noch Einmal Comparative Germanic: A Tale of Two Journals

to other small, seemingly insignificant, differences."
