		They determine the character of their maximal projection so that if the head is a V, the projection is a verb phrase (VP), or if the head is a P, the projection is a prepositional phrase (PP).
		Determiner phrases may also occur with copular verbs like in (65a), but are most common as direct objects such as (65b-c): (53) a.
		The head noun of the determiner phrase holds all the agreement information necessary to cor rectly analyze the sentence and is therefore the only part of the moved constituent that must be maintained.

	phrase
		Informally, a phrase is a group of words in a sentence that functions somewhat like as single word.
		A phrase is a syntactic structure which has syntactic properties derived from its head.
		In music the term phrase is used to refer to a section of music that is relatively self contained and coherent over a medium time scale.

	Determiner selection in noun phrase production Hantsch, Jescheniak, Schriefers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Naming objects with gender marked noun phrases (NPs, "der Baum" [the(masc) tree]) is inhibited more strongly by distractor words with different gender (Vase [vase(fem)]) as compared to distractors with the same gender (Käse [cheese(masc)]; Schriefers, 1993).
		The relative frequency of occurrence of the different determiners ("der", "die", "das") was controlled.
		If differences in the relative ease of producing plural NPs vs. singular NPs across gender classes rather than determiner competition were responsible for the pattern of results in Experiment 1, a comparable pattern should be obtained in Experiment 2.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The focus of this work is on the internal structure of the highest part of noun phrases, the part containing determiners and quantifiers.
		Determiners with different semantic behavior are located at different layers, a structural fact which is reflected in different patterns of extraction, predication and pronominalization.
		The aim of this project is to construct a broad theory of noun phrases compatible with a large number of constructions in a few languages (mainly English and Italian, at this stage).

		All the noun-modifiers of a phrase are connected to the main noun of the phrase.
		It may either act as a subject, in which case it must be followed by an ordinary finite verb phrase; or it may act as an object, in which case it must be followed by a phrase containing a transitive verb but no object.
		Superlatives must be used with determiners, and only certain determiners: This is their biggest room This is a biggest room They have biggest rooms To enforce this, it seems easiest to simply make the superlative connect to the determiner.

		First of all we have to discuss whether the noun really is the head of the phrase, as traditional grammars assume, or whether it is the determiner that constitutes the head of a determiner phrase.
		If determiner and adjective are not obligatory, the question of their status remains open, especially in a grammatical theory like HPSG.
		Determiners are classed as specifiers between complementation and adjunction, while adjectives are classed as adjuncts.

		And because noun phrases and verb phrases are also composed of smaller sub-phrases we have a recurring task of decomposing phrases into proper sub-phrases.
		A phrase is a noun_phrase if, either the phrase can be divided into two parts and the first part is a determiner and the second part is a noun, or, the whole phrase is a noun.
		A phrase is a verb_phrase if, either the phrase can be divided into two parts and the first part is a verb and the second part is a noun_phrase, or, the whole phrase is a verb.

	HF ENG 111 Grammar: Lecture 15
		While the noun which functions as head serves to identify the type of referent of the noun phrase, the determiner serves to indicate various elements of specification: whether the referent has been mentioned before or not, whether the referent is near the speaker or not, etc.
		The primary distinction marked by the demonstrative determiners is one of distance: the referent is near the speaker (this/these) or further away from the speaker (that/those).
		The quantifying determiners have a lot in common with the indefinite pronouns and will be further discussed in relation to those in lecture 16.

		Determiner Phrase A functional phrase made up of a Determiner and a Noun (=DP) which hosts both subjects and objects-- e.g., The boy, Those girls, Our teacher, my pen, etc...

	Adverbs, Noun Phrases, and Determiners
		Using the determiner feature system, we can obtain a close approximation to an accurate characterization of the behavior of the adverbs that interact with noun phrases and determiners.
		Adverbs can adjoin to either a determiner or a noun phrase (see figure 18.7), with the adverbs restricting what types of NPs or determiners they can modify by imposing feature requirements on the foot D or NP node.
		However, on the whole, the determiner feature system we have proposed can be used as a surprisingly efficient method of characterizing the interaction of adverbs with determiners and noun phrases.

		As mentioned previously, they are different from singular count nouns in that they do not require determiner phrase heads.
		For example, the DP "the uncle the man saw" is allowed, but the unintroduced relative clause in the DP "the uncle seeing the man" is not recognized by the parser because both the relative clause intro-word and the be auxiliary have been omitted to form this DP.
		Because it also views these by-phrases as prepositional phrases, several possible parses are given for all passive sentences and non-syntactic factors must be used to identify the proper construction.

		I submit that the functional structure of noun phrases is universally the same and, unlike Willim (1998 & 2000), I propose that the DP layer is active in Polish.
		I apply this assumption to the analysis of Polish noun phrases and the results I achieve show that all the referential segments normally occur leftmost in the nominal structure, preceding other modifiers of the head noun.
		The referential interpretation that is usually observed when a DP is headed by the definite article results from the presence of a specificity operator that is located in the Spec, DP position and functions like a demonstrative.

		Most noun phrases can be seen as expansions of a central essential element, which is called the head of the noun phrase (unless the head is a pronoun, which usually stands alone).
		This term is still frequently used today; a verb phrase can also be described as having a "passive verb", or we can say the verb is "in the passive".

		Johanna L. Wood ABSTRACT The structure of the Old English nominal is examined with respect to two functional categories, Determiner Phrase (DP), and Number Phrase (NumP), in comparison with the structure of the present-day English nominal.
		The co-occurrence of demonstratives and possessive determiners in earlier Old English is argued to occur because possessives are not definite as they are in present-day English.
		In the lower area of the nominal, where number is checked, it is assumed that NumP in present-day English is the position of the indefinite article and weak determiners.

		Noun phrases in Euskara have a very fixed word order, in contrast to the sentences, where phrases can be arranged in many different ways.
		In this respect, the behavior of this determiner is distinct from all other elements we have included in the category of Determiners, and it is also distinct from definite articles in indo-european languages, where it is common to have the definite determiner in these cases, as well as the demonstratives:
		This is why there are two determiners: the demonstrative heading the first phrase, which takes the Noun in it, and the determiner a, in its plural form in (47a) and in its singular form in (47b), constituting the second phrase, which take the quantifier in it.

		An intermediate phrase node is inserted between a higher phrase node and a sequence of words dominated by it only if two or more of those words form a coherent constituent within the higher phrase.
		For instance, a phrase raised out of a lower clause to act as object in a higher clause, as in John expected Mary to admit it, will be assigned an index identical to that assigned to the ghost element which marks the logical position of the item in the lower clause.
		The formtag of the entire co-ordination is determined by the properties of the first conjunct (except for singular/plural subcategories in the case of phrase categories to which these apply); the later conjuncts (which will often be transformationally reduced) have nodes of their own whose formtags mark them as "subordinate conjuncts".
