INTRODUCTION TO EUROPEAN PARTITIVES IN COMPARISON interested in how partitives emerge, and how they are in between categories that are in transition.” Hungarian proper partitives serve as an example in order to show what answers can be given to at least some of these questions. The main strategies of Hungarian for encoding proper partitives are subset marking via possessive agreement and superset marking via case or adposition.’* Subset marking via possessive agreement with the superset means that if the subset is represented by a quantifier — which is the case in the “canonical” type of proper partitive constructions like English two / many / some(one) / each of the / those students” — possessive suffixes or markers that reflect the 1PL, 2PL, 3PL features of the superset can be attached to this quantifier.”° In other words, the Hungarian partitive relationship can be denoted by a single possessive marked word; see the paradigms of some possessively inflected quantifiers in Table 1. DP stands for the superset. Table 1. Some possessively inflected quantifiers in Hungarian (Finno-Ugric, Ugric) ‘two of DP’ | ‘many of DP’ | ‘one of DP’ | ‘someone of DP’ | ‘each of DP’ 1PL | kettô-nk sok-unk egyik-ünk | valamelyik-ünk | mindegyik-ünk 2PL | kettö-tök sok-atok egyik-etek | valamelyik-etek | mindegyik-etek 3PL | kettö-jük sok-uk egyik-ük valamelyik-ük mindegyik-ük distribution of partitives and bare nouns in the Northern Italian dialects, Isogloss Open Journal of Romance Linguistics 8 (2022), 1-23; Bozena Rozwadowska — Ewa Willim: The Role of the Accusative/Partitive Alternation in Aspectual Composition in Polish, Poznan Studies in Contemporary Linguistics 39 (2004); Natalia Serdobolskaya — Maria Usacheva: Pseudopartitive constructions are not a subtype. https://doi.org/10.1075/jul.00018.ser; Petra Sleeman — Giuliana Giusti (eds.): Partitive determiners, partitive pronouns and partitive case.
