Furthermore, which, what, and whose are formally wh-words, and the definitearticle and the demonstratives are formally characterized by being th-words. The agreement types de and het (the two forms of the definitearticle) distinguish between neuter and nonneuter nouns. Future research must establish the plausibility of a developmental difference between singular and plural forms within the definitearticle and direct object clitic systems. Erroneous use of the nominative forms der, die, das of the definitearticle did not differ in the group of normally-hearing children. Thus, for the definitearticle paradigm frequency of use in adult speech and error preferences by children corresponded moderately to less well. It is, therefore, crucial for the purposes of composition that the definitearticle not be assigned the status of a (determiner) head. I will show that the morpheme ay in the verb functions in the same way as the definitearticle. We will see, in section 4.3, that the semantics of ay is analogous to the semantics of the definitearticle in language. The definitearticle therefore becomes unacceptable here not because the referent is not known in an immediate situation but because of cultural practice. In the other case, a definitearticle was used, rather than indefinite but this could be argued to be a unique mention (the freezer). The rest of the characters are introduced with a definitearticle. Furthermore, as can be seen in example (18), she oversupplies the definitearticle in nonspecific indefinite contexts. For instance, the definitearticle the specifies that the instance it grounds is presumed to be identifiable to the addressee. This is strong evidence to suggest that a preposed adnominal genitive nominal was in complementary distribution with a demonstrative or 'definitearticle'. Furthermore, idiomatic usage may distinguish between the zero article and the definitearticle in such contexts. The function of the definitearticle does not always boil down to marking a common goal. This is typically the definitearticle, but where this is uninformative, other words are accessed. Beginning with the definitearticle, it may be asked whether the lack of the definitearticle isn't due to phonological factors. He found that the culturally specific uses of the definitearticle were the most difficult along with the anaphoric associative use. In what follows, we restrict ourselves to the definitearticle in the nominative case. Only one child has consistently higher error rates in one paradigm, which is the definitearticle. Occasionally, the choice of the definitearticle appears to be prompted by other considerations. When definite gerunds are occasionally used with these prepositions, their use tends to be clearly motivated by the properties of the definitearticle. In some cases the definitearticle is missing, in others it is not the object that is expressed by verbal means but some other modifier. This may well be connected to definitearticle phonology. Take, for example, the use of the simple past to refer to a definite past event and the second-mention use of the definitearticle. The use of the definitearticle in her data was primarily textual. The subjects in their two experiments were asked to classify and locate, among other uses of the definitearticle, direct anaphoric and associative anaphoric uses. Of course, frequency is not a sufficient explanation; otherwise we would never get beyond the definitearticle in our speech. However, it is not obligatory for this process to be encoded by the incorporation of the definitearticle. All nouns were presented in the singular and preceded by the definitearticle; verbs were presented in the simple present tense with third-person-singular conjugation. There were 15 types of each definitearticle per category in the cloze test. Though formally identical to the indefinite form, such forms may be considered to lack an expected definitearticle. This is the case with the definitearticle and the expression of plural. Being so frequent, the definitearticle the could indicate less focus on the aperture than other determiners do. The definitearticle never attaches to construct-state nouns. Finally, it does not explain why the definitearticle has to cliticize onto the genitive. The behavior of the definitearticle in adjectival phrases is not accounted for. Of course, if determiners other than the definitearticle are viewed as heads, this argument is not valid. For a start, the proposed syntax of the definitearticle is idiosyncratic and appears to deviate from standard assumptions concerning functional categories. Concerning the definitearticle, die was a frequent error, but not significantly more frequent than the erroneous use of der. The noun cannot be omitted when the only determiner present is the definitearticle. The status of the insertion as multiple- or single-word plays no role in determining the insertion of the definitearticle. For the failure of the definitearticle or a plural suffix to appear, the description in the previous paragraph is relevant. The two constructions still differ, however, in that (5b) has no overt determiner, whereas (5c) is marked by a definitearticle. It seems to me to be a bit confusing to suggest that the 'singular only' character is dependent on the presence of the definitearticle. Figure 2 contains a concordance for the definitearticle the for the same text. The definitearticle is sometimes omitted where it redundantly appears in "fixed phrases" and prepositional phrases acting as "complex prepositions". Since out (without of) is more frequent with the definitearticle than with other determiners, figurative constructions also have a high frequency of out. But the definitearticle is certainly not an ordinary determiner in this respect, as it subcategorizes for completely different categories than the others. Furthermore, many particles, including prepositions, conjunctions, and the definitearticle, attach to the words that immediately follow them. In the above examples, definiteness goes hand in hand with the presence of the definitearticle and with semantic determination. Not all names of places and diseases require the definitearticle. In her study, the definitearticle appeared to be acquired earlier than the indefinite article. However, contrary to what was predicted for hypothesis 3, requiring readers to attend to a definitearticle did not negatively affect comprehension, either. Such a model works well for plural nouns, because it is clear that the definitearticle commutes with zero in the context of plural nouns. In purpose adjuncts, then, the definitearticle does not mark specificity and accessibility in the strictest possible sense. Construct state nominals do not combine with the definitearticle. On that count, noun phrases denoting imaginable objects may be more prone to incorrectly receiving the definitearticle in indefinite contexts. Our decision threshold was intended to allow the classifier to skip such cases, but the system's confidence was high for its judgment that classes should not have a definitearticle. If the lexicon is allowed to specify this type of distributional exceptions, why is it not allowed to do the same when the definitearticle is involved? The definitearticle is also decreasing. The reason the short construction is more frequent in figurative than in literal use is probably that the definitearticle the is used in all such constructions. In the classification task the word was presented alone, whereas in the verification task half the words were preceded by a definitearticle and half by an indefinite article. Incidentally, notice how the term 'definitearticle' attributes to the phonetic m-sign itself a property (' definite') that actually pertains only to what it is a sign of. Soft mutation is triggered on the word following a large class of lexical items, including prepositions, the definitearticle before a feminine noun, numerals and complementizers. In particular, her work on the acquisition of the determiner system suggests that children do not use the definitearticle in a discourse-appropriate manner until well into their school-age years. The purpose of this essay is less to object to such a procedure than to query the use of the definitearticle to which it gives rise. In other words, most of their errors were related to what we consider unique referent or cultural use of the definitearticle, a concept we will explain shortly. Almost all the noun phrases showing correct usage of dative and accusative consist of a noun, either occurring alone or preceded by just the definitearticle. Since the most closely associated word for the majority of nouns is a definitearticle, such a reduction in information occurs when a noun begins with a vowel. However, there is one construction, headed by a topicalized adjective which bears the definite article, that allows two genitive phrases, one of which must be pronominal. After something has been mentioned once, it becomes an object or person known to the interlocutors involved, so when it is referred to again, the definitearticle is required. This determiner is typically a definitearticle, but depending on which type of quantifier modifies (or constitutes) the subject it can also be the indefinite article a(n). The definitearticle, accessibility, and the construction of discourse referents. Naturally, where noun phrases are treated as proper names we would not expect to find the definite article, but the model should handle those cases as well. As there were insufficient data for definitearticle errors in the samples of 15 children, the analysis was carried out for the sample of 6 children only. In this replication study, the definitearticle the and a content word that was important for processing the referential meaning of the passage, inflation, were used.
