No Null Nouns - corpora@parles.upf

Argument 2: two types of Ds
Weak determiners: cada, sengles, qualque, cert,
mon, ton, son, llur, tot*, etc.
Strong determiners: aquest, aquell, quin, quant, cap,
un, algun, tant, molt, etc.
If we allow empty nouns, we either cannot account
for the difference in behavior or we have to restrict
the null N in the appropriate position in relation to a
strong determiner.
The assumption that a strong D can license an
empty N is ad hoc.
* Tot, as in tota reclamació, tot document, not as
in tots els llibres, tota l’estona, etc., where it is a
predeterminer.
