Determiners

Determiners clarify the specific reference of a noun or noun phrase, such as the dog versus a dog. They can include articles, demonstratives, possessives, and quantifiers. The choice of determiners can vary between languages, and some languages even permit determiners with proper names. The order of determiners can also vary, with some languages allowing determiners to come before or after the noun phrase.
