Determiner and short story
Determiners
Determiners are words like
the, an, my, some. They are grammatically similar. They all come at the
beginning of noun phrases, and usually we cannot use more than one determiner
in the same noun phrase.
Determiners are functional elements of
structure and not formal word classes.
Determiners in English
There are many
different determiners in the English language.
Articles are among the most common of the
determiners. A, an, and the all express the definiteness and specificity of a
noun. For example, “the” is a definite article, meaning the person using the
word is referring to a specific one. On the other hand, “a” or “an” are
indefinite.
Demonstratives, such as this, that, these
and those, require a frame of reference in which an individual can point out
the entities referred to by a speaker or a writer.
Quantifiers, such as all, few, and many,
point out how much or how little of something is being indicated.
When referring to an entity that belongs to
another, you can use possessives. My, your, their, and its are a fewexamples.
There are many
other types of determiners. For instance, cardinal numbers, the numbers that
are written out in English, are also included in the class of determiners.
Determiners are generally split into two groups—definite determiners and
indefinite determiners.
Function of Determiner
A
determiner can take on a number of different meanings and roles in a sentence.
The determiner is used in every case to clarify the noun.
· They may be used to demonstrate or
define something or someone.
Quantifiers
state how many of a thing, in number or expression. A determiner is used to
show that the noun indicated is a specific one (that one), not an unspecific
one (any).
· They may also state the differences
between nouns.
While
determiners may have a number of other functions, most of them are related to
these two key areas. The list of determiners only numbers about 50 words, and
all of these words are commonly used by most individuals. Determiners are not
difficult to get the grasp of when contrasted with adjectives, and do not take
too long for native English speakers to grasp. After all, how many times have
you had trouble deciding whether to say “the” or “a”?
Below are included in the category (list) of determiners are :
- Articles (the, a, an)
- Demonstratives (this, that, these, those)
- Possessives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their)
- Quantifiers (a few, a little, much, many, a lot of, most, some, any, enough, etc.)
- Numbers (one, ten, thirty, etc.)
- Distributives (all, both, half, either, neither, each, every)
- Difference words (other, another)
- Question words (which, what, whose)
DEFINITE OR INDEFINITE ARTICLES
Basically, there are two types of articles in English: the Definite Article (the) and the Indenfinite article (a/an). The definite article specifies a particular individual; the indefinite article indicates that the following noun is a member of a class.
Kapan sebuah article itu dianggap definite dan
indefinite?
·
Definite, adalah jika penulis
atau pembicara sudah menyebutkan benda yang sama sebelumnya
atau mengkhususkan pada suatu benda. (THE)
·
Indefinite, adalah
kebalikan dari definite. Yaitu digunakan untuk kata
benda umum dan tidak spesifik. (A dan AN)
Contoh:
1. I bought a ball yesterday. The ball is
borrowed by Ardi today.
(Saya membeli sebuah bola kemarin. Bola itu dipinjam Adi hari ini).
(Saya membeli sebuah bola kemarin. Bola itu dipinjam Adi hari ini).
2. I bought an umbrella in the store yesterday. The umbrella is mine
(Saya membeli sebuah payung di
toko kemarin. Payung itu milikku)
3.
I saw a man in my class.
( ‘a’ pada ‘a man’ adalah
indefinite article karna kata man masih umum dan tidak spesifik bagaimana man
(laki-laki) yg dimaksud apakah tinggi, pendek, seorang polisi, guru, dll)
PENJELASAN :
1.
"a" pada "a ball" adalah Indefinite Article,
karena saya belum pernah menyebutkan sebuah bola sebelumnya. "the" pada "the ball" adalah Definite Artcile sebab
Penggunaan "the" pada
"the balll" pada kalimat kedua adalah mengkhususkan bahwa "bola yang
dipinjam oleh Adi" adalah "bola yang saya beli kemarin"
2.
‘An’ pada ‘An Umbrella’ termasuk kedalam indefinite
article karna kata umbrella masih umum dan tidak spesifik bagaimana umbrella
(payung) yang di maksud apakah warnanya merah, hitam, biru, dll. Kata ‘the’ pada ‘the store’ dan ‘the umbrella’ adalah termasuk kedalam Definite
article sebab kata ‘the’ pada ‘the store’ itu mengkhususkan pada toko
yang menjual payung saja. Dan kata ‘the’
pada ‘the umbrella’ itu di khususkan bahwa
“payung tersebut adalah payung yang saya beli kemarin”,
CATATAN: Perbedaan dalam penggunaan A dan AN
tergantung kata bendanya diawali oleh huruf konsonan atau vokal. Jika awalnya huruf vokal, maka gunakan AN. Jika awalnya huruf konsonan. Maka gunakan A.
DEMONSTRATIVES
Demonstrative is a determiner
or pronoun that points to a particular noun or to the noun it replaces. There
are four demonstratives in English: the "near" demonstratives this
and these, and the "far" demonstratives that and those.
This and that are singular; these and those
are plural.A demonstrative pronoun distinguishes its antecedent from similar things.
Example :
· That shoes is mine.
(Sepatu itu milik saya)
(Sepatu itu milik saya)
· I'd like to buy those apples.
(Saya mau membeli apel-apel itu)
(Saya mau membeli apel-apel itu)
Penjelasan :
1. kata “that” pada that shoes ini jelas menunjukan bahwa sepatu tersebut
milik saya, that shoes (sepatu itu) that tersebut adalah kata tunjuk dan pada
contoh diatas jelas sepatu yang ditunjuk tersebut adalah sepatu milik saya.
2. kata “those” pada those apples ini menunjukan bahwa apel tersebut jamak
atau banyak (apel-apel)
