The book explores the semantic and discourse-pragmatic characteristics of indefinite noun phrases, focusing on the relationship between referential forms and their discourse-structuring potential. Through a comparative linguistic study of English, German, and Romanian, it empirically supports and advances the analysis of various indefinite noun phrases. This research aims to enhance understanding of text structure, cognitive foundations of text production and comprehension, and the overarching principles of communication among conversational participants.
