determiner
A determiner is a word, phrase or affix which modifies a noun phrase[glossary].
In English these can be [glossary]articles, possessive pronouns, and numerals.
In English, determiners include
- articles (a, an, the)
- numerals (including cardinal numbers (one, two, three…) and ordinal numbers (first, second, third…))
- demonstratives (this, that, these, those)
- partitives (some of, piece of, and others)
- quantifiers (most, all, and others)
- difference words (other, another),
- possessive determiners (my, your, his, her, its, our, their).
In Australian Indigenous languages, determiners can include most of these, but not articles.
