Determiners in English
There are many different
determiners in the English language.
·
Articles
are among the most common of the determiners. A, an, and the all express the
definiteness and specificity of a noun. For example, “the” is a definite
article, meaning the person using the word is referring to a specific one. On
the other hand, “a” or “an” are indefinite.
·
Demonstratives,
such as this, that, these and those, require a frame of reference in which an
individual can point out the entities referred to by a speaker or a writer.
·
Quantifiers,
such as all, few, and many, point out how much or how little of something is
being indicated.
·
When
referring to an entity that belongs to another, you can use possessives. My,
your, their, and its are a few examples.
There are many other types of
determiners. For instance, cardinal
numbers, the numbers that are written out in English, are also
included in the class of determiners. Determiners are generally split into two
groups—definite determiners and indefinite determiners.
Function of a Determiners
A determiner can take on a
number of different meanings and roles in a sentence. The determiner is used in
every case to clarify the noun.
·
They may be used to demonstrate or define something or
someone.
Quantifiers state how many
of a thing, in number or expression. A determiner is used to show that the noun
indicated is a specific one (that one), not an unspecific one (any).
·
They
may also state the differences between nouns.
While determiners may have a
number of other functions, most of them are related to these two key areas. The
list of determiners only numbers about 50 words, and all of these words are
commonly used by most individuals. Determiners are not difficult to get the
grasp of when contrasted with adjectives, and do not take too long for native
English speakers to grasp. After all, how many times have you had trouble
deciding whether to say “the” or “a”?
Determining Determiners
How should you choose which
determiner to use? For those who were raised speaking the English language,
determining the determiner to use is second-nature, since determiners are so
often used in front of nouns.
Like the basic parts of
speech, determiners are so ingrained into the English language that using them
is simple. The same goes for most Indo-European languages (for instance, Romance languages such as Spanish and the Germanic languages such as German).
However, the languages of
other countries may not use determiners, or may have sets of rules very
different than the English language does. For these individuals, learning how
and where to use determiners can be rather difficult.
Determiners and Adjectives
Until recently, English
teaching in schools did not take determiners into account. Many determiners
were simply lumped into the category of “adjectives,” which works for some but
certainly not for all.
·
Adjectives
have primarily three functions: they modify noun phrases, or complement the
object or subject of a sentence.
·
The
function of a determiner is to express proximity, relationship, quantity, and
definiteness.
Determiners are not gradable
as are adjectives. For example, a person may be angry, angrier, or the
angriest. A person can not be “her-est” or “the-est.”
Determiners are usually
necessary (or obligatory) in a sentence, whereas adjectives are not.
Adjectives, unlike
determiners, cannot have corresponding pronouns.
Adjectives and determiners
are distinct from one another and cannot simply be lumped into the same
category
