The Moksha language (Mordvin, Finno-Ugric) has the definite declension. However, the existence of definiteness as a grammatical category in this language is disputable. The claim of the talk is that the definite declension in Moksha realizes a postpositional article with a split depending on DP/NP structural position in a clause, and with non-“exaustive” partitive semantics. I also argue that these articles realize discourse linkage in argument positions only.
