- 3How do we differentiate determiners? What are some examples of predeterminers?There are three different types; the predeterminer (ALL the five activity books), the central determiner (all THE five activity books) and the postdeterminer (all the FIVE activity books)
Predeterminers: WHAT a view, SUCH a good movie, SUCH a thing, All the books, ... - 4What is a premodifier in NPs? Which word classes can be premodifiers?A premodifier is a word that provides a description of the headword. Types of items that can function as premodifiers in NPs:
adjectives (DELIGHTFUL cottage), past participle (FRESHLY-PAINTED COTTAGE), verbs ending in -ing aka present participle (CRUMBLING cottage), nouns (COUNTRY cottage), gerunds (FISHING cottage), classifying Saxon genitive (children's cottage > for children, not belonging to children!!!), items converted out of adverbs (FAR-AWAY cottage), clauses (POP-DOWN-FOR-THE-WEEKEND cottage) - 5Discuss complex, discontinuous and peripheral modifiers with examples.Complex> consist of more than one word (BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED books)
Discontinuous> modifier split into two, H in the middle (a DIFFERENT city FROM LONDON; from London does not postmodify city really)
Peripheral> part of phrase but more peripheral but cannot truly act as premodifiers because they are adverbs ([EVEN [the dog]] refused to eat it) - 6What is the relative sequence of premodifiers?It is the tendency of premodifiers to arrange themselves in a semantic gradient from more subjective/evaluative to more objective/pure classifiers (general property>age>colour>provenance>manufacture>type)
