DET: determiner

Definition

Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context. That is, a determiner may indicate whether the noun is referring to a definite or indefinite element of a class, to a closer or more distant element, to an element belonging to a specified person or thing, to a particular number or quantity, etc.

Traditionally, Turkish grammars and dictionaries do not make the distinction between a determiner and an adjective (but modern grammars do, see Göksel and Kerslake 2005, ch.15).

Turkish does not have a definite article, but the numeral bir “one” also acts as an indefinite article. We mark it as DET in this usage.

Relations

DET nodes are attached to their parents using 7 different relations: tr-dep/det (870; 87% instances), tr-dep/mwe (97; 10% instances), tr-dep/nsubj (19; 2% instances), tr-dep/advmod:emph (8; 1% instances), tr-dep/conj (3; 0% instances), tr-dep/dobj (3; 0% instances), tr-dep/root (3; 0% instances)

Parents of DET nodes belong to 10 different parts of speech: NOUN (852; 85% instances), ADJ (90; 9% instances), VERB (37; 4% instances), PROPN (6; 1% instances), ADP (5; 0% instances), NUM (4; 0% instances), PRON (3; 0% instances), ROOT (3; 0% instances), ADV (2; 0% instances), PUNCT (1; 0% instances)

962 (96%) DET nodes are leaves.

35 (3%) DET nodes have one child.

1 (0%) DET nodes have two children.

5 (0%) DET nodes have three or more children.

The highest child degree of a DET node is 8.

Children of DET nodes are attached using 12 different relations: tr-dep/case (19; 30% instances), tr-dep/punct (9; 14% instances), tr-dep/conj (7; 11% instances), tr-dep/advmod:emph (6; 10% instances), tr-dep/cc (6; 10% instances), tr-dep/advmod (5; 8% instances), tr-dep/nmod (4; 6% instances), tr-dep/nsubj (3; 5% instances), tr-dep/acl (1; 2% instances), tr-dep/amod (1; 2% instances), tr-dep/cop (1; 2% instances), tr-dep/dobj (1; 2% instances)
