Preliminary Recommendations

 

Application to Danish

The label Determiner as used within the present EAGLES proposal obviously covers a number of lexical items classified as pronouns and quantifiers. Traditional Danish grammars and dictionaries do not operate with a common designation for the determination function. The application of the label Determiner as a member of the Danish tagset for corpus annotation has not yet been clarified.

In Danish, from a functional point of view, members of certain word classes, like pronoun or noun (viz. subclasses specifier and classifier), can be considered as determiners.
