Abstract
Newton Center, Mass. Georgetown University There-sentences in English fall into two types: EXISTENTIAL and LIST. 'Existential' there-sentences typically allow only indefinite NP arguments, while 'list' theresentences accept both definites and indefinites. The reason for this difference is that the argument of an existential there-sentence is the NP itself; but the argument of a list there-sentence is the list, not the individual members comprising that list. Once this distinction is noted, only one restriction remains on the arguments of all theresentences, namely that they be non-anaphoric in the sense discussed in this article.*
