DET: determiner
Definition
Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context. That is, a determiner may indicate whether the noun is referring to a definite or indefinite element of a class, to a closer or more distant element, to an element belonging to a specified person or thing, to a particular number or quantity, etc.
Traditionally, Turkish grammars and dictionaries do not make the distinction between a determiner and an adjective (but modern grammars do, see Göksel and Kerslake 2005, ch.15).
Turkish does not have a definite article,
but the numeral bir “one” also acts as an indefinite article.
We mark it as DET in this usage.
Examples
- demonstrative determiners: bu “this”, şu “this/that”, o “that”
- interrogative determiners: hangi “which”, kaç “how many”
- quantity/quantifier determiners: bütün “all”, bazı “some”, hiçbir “none”
