ENGLISH "The determiner class is one of the structure classes that straddle the line between a word class

and a function. On the one hand, our most common determiners, the articles, do indeed constitute a small, closed structure class. At the other end of the spectrum are the possessive nouns, which function as determiners while retaining their membership in the open class 'noun.' In between are the subclasses of determiners that belong to the closed pronoun class: Demonstrative, possessive, and indefinite pronouns all function as determiners; and, of course, as pronouns they also function as nominals (in fact, 'pronominal' would be a more accurate label than 'pronoun').

A determiner is a noun-modifier that expresses the reference of a noun or noun phrase in the context, rather than attributes expressed by adjectives. This function is usually performed by articles, demonstratives, possessive determiners, or quantifiers.Rule 1. Any singular countable common noun must combine with a determiner. (More precisely, the noun probably depends on the determiner, as explained below.) (1) I found *(a) book. (i.e. a cannot be omitted) (An apparent but explicable exception is the common noun one.) Rule 2. A determiner cannot combine with another determiner. I found a/my book. (3) *I found a my book. MAPeH Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints with an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a 'print'. Each piece produced is not a copy but considered an original since it is not a reproduction of another work of art and is technically (more correctly) known as an 'impression'. Printmaking (other than monotyping) is not chosen only for its ability to produce multiple impressions, but rather for the unique qualities that each of the printmaking processes lends itself to.
