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.
