Abstract : This paper proposes a novel analysis for the Basque definite determiner [-a] where it is argued, in opposition to other scholars (cf. Artiagoitia, 2002, 2006 where [-a] is argued to be a number marker when it gets the existential narrow scope interpretation), that the Basque definite determiner (despite its various interpretations) is just that, a definite determiner.
Résumé : Lan honek euskarako determinatzaile definituaren analisi berri bat proposatzen du non beste egile batzuren esanekin kontrajarriz (cf. Artiagoitia 2002, 2006, non [-a] numero markatzaile huts bezala porta daitekeen argudiatzen den), euskarako determinatzaile definitua hori besterik ez dela proposatzen den.
