==Determiners==
{{Main|Determiner}}

Linguists today distinguish determiners from adjectives, considering them to be two separate parts of speech (or ''[[Parts of speech|lexical categories]]''). Determiners formerly were considered to be adjectives in some of their uses.{{efn|In English dictionaries, which typically still do not treat determiners as their own part of speech, determiners are often recognizable by being listed both as adjectives and as pronouns.}} Determiners function neither as nouns nor pronouns but instead characterize a nominal element within a particular context. They generally do this by indicating [[definiteness]] (''a'' vs. ''the''), [[quantity]] (''one'' vs. ''some'' vs. ''many''), or another such property.
