Thai Definiteness Fragment #

[Jen15] [Mor21]

Thai patterns with Mandarin on the [Mor21] typology: bare nouns serve uniqueness contexts and demonstratives carry the anaphoric load — no overt indefinite or unique article. Possessives are productive. Under the [Mor21] typology this is the .markedAnaphoric strategy.

Thai [Jen15]: same definite-marking pattern as Mandarin — the demonstrative (nán 'that') obligatorily expones anaphoric definites; uniqueness is bare; possessives via khɔ̌ɔng.
