This article addresses the issue of selection restrictions for noun phrase specifiers.Danish data is presented which shows that definiteness plays an important role in this respect.It is pointed out that an analysis is required in which the specifier, when present, leaves a mark on the projected phrase.This is achieved by assuming that specifiers are syntactic heads of noun phrase constructions.Further an elaborate classification of specifiers is also needed in terms of which selection restrictions may be formulated, rJong with a cross-categorial definiteness feature.These properties are part of the analysis proposed in this analysis.
