determiner

In grammar, a word that specifies the referent of a noun phrase. In English determiners comprise definite and indefinite articles, possessive and demonstrative adjectives and pronouns. Determiners characteristically begin noun phrases (‘my dog’, ‘this house’, ‘some people’, ‘both boys’). Determiners define nouns; they identify the particular noun under discussion. Typical pronoun determiners are some, either, several, as in ‘Give me some; you have several already’.
