title = "Definitely indefinite Negotiating intersubjective common ground in everyday interaction in Finnish",
abstract = "This chapter concerns expressions which seem internally contradictory because they consist of both a recognitional and a non-recognitional element. They contain both the Finnish demonstrative se {\textquoteleft}that, the{\textquoteright}, a recognitional, as in se ihminen {\textquoteleft}that/the person{\textquoteright}, and one of the indefinite determiners yksi {\textquoteleft}one{\textquoteright}, semmonen {\textquoteleft}such{\textquoteright}, and joku {\textquoteleft}some{\textquoteright}, all of which are non-recognitionals, resulting in expressions such as se joku ihminen {\textquoteleft}that/the some person{\textquoteright}. The chapter shows that each of these expressions has its own home environment and expresses a distinct epistemic stance. The main findings are that these expressions constitute a fine-grained resource for the negotiation of relative epistemic status and are tools for building intersubjective common ground in interaction.",
