German Definiteness Fragment #

@cite{schwarz-2009} @cite{schwarz-2013} @cite{moroney-2021}

German morphologically distinguishes the weak (uniqueness) article — often contracted, e.g., im, vom, zum — from the strong (anaphoric/familiarity) article — full forms dem, von dem. Indefinite ein-, demonstratives, and possessives complete the inventory. Under the @cite{moroney-2021} typology this is the .bipartite strategy: distinct forms for each @cite{schwarz-2009} use type.
