语义语用范畴“特殊性”被用来描述不定名词短语的各种语义和语用对比。本章将首先简要说明在不同语言中表达这些对比的不同语言手段。其次，它将根据所在的语义和语用语境对不同类型的特殊性进行分类。对这些不同类型的特异性的标准测试也进行了讨论。在第三节中，我们比较了四种关于专用性的理论方法，并得出结论：指涉锚定可以更好地理解专用性。
The semantic–pragmatic category ‘specificity’is used to describe various semantic and pragmatic contrasts of indefinite noun phrases. This chapter will first provide a brief illustration of different linguistic means to express these contrasts in different languages. Second, it will categorize different types of specificity according to the semantic and pragmatic contexts in which they can be found. The standard tests for these different kinds of specificity are also discussed. In the third section a comparison is made between four families of theoretical approaches to specificity and the chapter concludes with the notion that specificity can be best understood by ‘referential anchoring’.
