Лексикализация на устойчивите изрази с неопределителна семантика от типа „не знам (си) кой (си)“
The paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the structure and distribution of Bulgarian indefinite multiword expressions following the pattern ne znam (si) k-word (si) (NEG know.1SG.PRS (REFL) k-word (REFL)). The syntactic behavior of each member of the series is illustrated with numerous examples from Internet discourse.While it is possible for an adverb or even a preposition to occur within the complex, these expressions fill in positions available to pronouns, not to clauses, and denote specific non-identifiable referents. Therefore, ne znam (si) k-word(si) expressions should be categorized as compound indefinites.
