Semantic features typically set by determination include:
- definite vs. indefinite
- specific vs. non-specific
The class of determiners typically comprises:
- articles (engl. the, a)
- demonstratives (engl. this, that ...)
- possessive pro-adjectives (engl. my, their ...)
- indefinite determiners (engl. some ...)
All of these may be free or bound elements.
Determiner and pronoun are two different distribution classes.
However, many proforms fall into both classes.
