This contribution examines the relation between genitives/ partitives and indefinites in some Italian varieties. A central question concerns the nature of the preposition de/di (DE) ‘of’ (< Latin de), specifically investigated in contexts where it does not introduce the usual possessive or partitive reading: bare partitives/Partitive articles of Italian varieties, negative contexts in which a negative marker select a partitive occurrence of DE of the type mia+DE in Northern Italian dialects and the linker-like element in Southern Italian dialects. We propose that these structures rely on the lexical content of DE, corresponding to the elementary relation part-whole and that their particular behaviour can be treated in the terms of pair-merge in the sense of Chomsky (2020). The indefinites in varieties devoid of the partitive article will be treated in the final section.

分词和不定词：意大利品种中的现象

这篇文章研究了一些意大利变体中的属格/分词和不定式之间的关系。一个中心问题涉及介词de/di ( DE ) 'of' (< Latin de ) 的性质，特别是在它不引入通常所有格或部分阅读的情况下进行调查：意大利变体的裸部分/部分冠词，否定否定标记在意大利北部方言中选择类型为mia+DE的部分出现的DE和在意大利南部方言中选择类似链接器的元素的上下文。我们建议这些结构依赖于DE的词汇内容，对应于部分-整体的基本关系，并且它们的特定行为可以用乔姆斯基（2020）意义上的对合并术语来处理。没有分词冠词的变体中的不定词将在最后一节中讨论。
