Another exemption concerns adjectives in predeterminer position. Note further that as a predeterminer such only combines with the indefinite article, whereas as a postdeterminer it allows a wider range of combinations with other determiners. In these works, however, 'predeterminer ' is the name of a category (or subcategory within the determiner category), rather than of a function, as in our own usage. Quirk et al. (1985: 451), for instance, recognize the intensifying function of such, but whereas they class quite and rather as adverbs, they class such as a predeterminer.
