Abstract
In this paper I want to sketch an interpretation of the diachronic evolution of the Greekarticle-system1, following a theoretical framework essentially based on generative parametrictheories. My proposal is to demonstrate how a strong theory of syntactic evolution can leaddifferent and apparently unrelated phenomena back to a unique diachronical development. Iwant to focus my attention on the relation between the rise of the so-called ‘indefinite article’and the necessity for the (expletive) ‘definite’ one to occur with proper names. My analysiswill examine only nominal expressions occurring in argument position
