DET: determiner

The English DET covers most cases of Penn Treebank DT, PDT, WDT. However, when a Penn Treebank word with one of these tags stands alone as a noun phrase rather than modifying another word, then it becomes PRON.


Treebank Statistics (UD_English)

There are 39 DET lemmas (0%), 40 DET types (0%) and 21124 DET tokens (8%). Out of 17 observed tags, the rank of DET is: 14 in number of lemmas, 15 in number of types and 6 in number of tokens.

The 1st highest number of forms (2) was observed with the lemma “a”: a, an.

The 2nd highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “$ome”: $ome.

The 3rd highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “A”: A.

DET occurs with 3 features: en-feat/PronType (18952; 90% instances), en-feat/Definite (16362; 77% instances), en-feat/Number (1426; 7% instances)

DET occurs with 8 feature-value pairs: Definite=Def, Definite=Ind, Number=Plur, Number=Sing, PronType=Art, PronType=Dem, PronType=Int, PronType=Rel

DET occurs with 9 feature combinations. The most frequent feature combination is Definite=Def|PronType=Art (11016 tokens). Examples: the
