From nominal sentence to determinant sentence

Abstract

In modern linguistics, it is evident the extraordinary relevance that the lexical determinant category has experienced to the detriment of the other constituents of the FN in the consideration of its hierarchical status, since it has gone from being a non-nuclear element (optional or compulsory) in the nominal structure in the generative grammar (according to Chomsky, Postal, Fillmore, etc.) to a nuclear position, generating its own maximum projection, the determinant sentence, in the categorical grammar (according to Abney).
