The feature geometry of generic inclusive null DPs in Hungarian 189
Generic inclusive vs. unique reference alternation in Italian and Polish is con-
ditional on the habitual vs. actual readings of imperfective and perfective aspect. No
such aspectual restriction is found in Icelandic, where reference alternation is con-
ditioned by the non-veridical operator. Chinese allows generic inclusive null DPs to
alternate with unique reference null DPs. Finnish and Hungarian do not exhibit such
alternation at all.
