In addition to the analysis described in Chapter 18, there
remains work to be done to complete the analysis of determiner constructions in
English.24.2 Although
constructions such as determiner coordination are easily handled if
overgeneration is allowed, blocking sequences such as one and some while
allowing sequences such as five or ten still remains to be worked out.
There are still a handful of determiners that are not currently handled by our
system. We do not have an analysis to handle most, such, certain, other and own24.3. In
addition, there is a set of lexical items that we consider adjectives (enough, less, more and much) that have the property that
they cannot cooccur with determiners. We feel that a complete analysis of
determiners should be able to account for this phenomenon, as well.
