Reformulating the Determiner Phrase Analysis
Language and Linguistics Compass, 2008AbstractDeveloped in the 1980s, the Determiner Phrase (DP) analysis stimulated a lot of interest in the internal structure of nominal phrases and in the study of correspondences between nominal and clausal structure. Research across a range of languages has uncovered correspondences in areas such as agreement morphology, syntactic movement, and ...

Determiner phrase structure and concord in Mə̀dʉ́mbὰ
South African Journal of African Languages, 2013This article investigates the Mə̀dʉ́mbὰ determiner phrase (DP) and proposes an account of the DP-internal agreement phenomenon. In Mə̀dʉ́mbὰ , multiple modifiers agree with the head noun in the same DP. Following the logic of Pollock’s (1989) Split Inflexional Phrase (IP) hypothesis, many instances of agreement logically call for the projection of ...

Definiteness and specificity in the isiXhosa determiner phrase
South African Journal of African Languages, 2008The article investigates questions relating to the morphosyntactic realization of (in)definitenessand (non-)specificity in isiXhosa. The interaction of syntax, semantics and pragmatics is exploredin establishing the interpretation of noun phrases as regards (in)definiteness and (non-)specificityin isiXhosa, with particular attention to the object noun ...

It is generally thought that definite determiners exclusively mark nouns as definite. In several languages, however, definite determiners may modify both nouns and verbs. As I will argue, the existence of these “multi‐functional” elements suggests that determiners are in fact phrases. This syntactic move has a philosophical payoff.

Determiner phrase in a language without determiners (with apologies to Jim Huang 1982) [PDF]
Journal of Linguistics, 1998 Serbo-Croatian (SC) is a language without articles, probably the only category of speech that has uncontroversially and crosslinguistically been argued to occupy the head of the Determiner Phrase (DP). This paper argues that even SC, a language without articles, projects a DP on top of NPs in argument positions.

The selection of determiners in noun phrase production.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1999 Picture-word interference experiments conducted with Italian speakers investigated how determiners are selected in noun phrase (NP) production. Determiner production involves the selection of a noun's syntactic features (mass or count, gender), which specify the type of determiner to be selected, and the subsequent selection of a particular ...

Predicate focus fronting in the Spanish determiner phrase [PDF]
Lingua, 2010 Abstract This article brings new evidence to the fore supporting the hypothesis that the architecture of the DP domain mirrors that of the sentence, particularly concerning the topic–focus articulation. To fulfill this task a Spanish nominal construction (the lo-de construction) is analyzed on a pair with comparative qualitative binominal noun ...

The syntactic study of determiner phrases (DPs) has focused on the optional and obligatory constituents of the DP across languages, the word order patterns among these constituents, and the morphosyntactic manifestation of relations between DP-internal constituents.
