The contribution will propose an interpretation of the syntactic behavior of demonstrative elements crosslinguistically, in a parametric perspective. On the basis of empirical evidence coming from a sample of Indoeuropean and non Indoeuropean languages, it will be shown that the different configurations available are all predictable on the basis of the setting of four syntactic parameters (and on their interaction with other properties), that determine: the positions of demonstratives in the DP, their interpretation according to such positions, and their co-occurrence with the (definite) article.

Abstract
The contribution will propose an interpretation of the syntactic behavior of demonstrative elements crosslinguistically, in a parametric perspective. On the basis of empirical evidence coming from a sample of Indoeuropean and non Indoeuropean languages, it will be shown that the different configurations available are all predictable on the basis of the setting of four syntactic parameters (and on their interaction with other properties), that determine: the positions of demonstratives in the DP, their interpretation according to such positions, and their co-occurrence with the (definite) article.
