ABSTRACT
Pronouns are words that stand instead of nounphrases. They perform the syntactic functions of nounphrases as subjects, objects, etc. English examples include ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘someone’, ‘anything’, ‘who?’. Determiners are words that modify nouns. We use this term in this book to refer to words other than articles, adjectives and numerals. Determiners in English include ‘some’, ‘any’, and ‘which’ (e.g. in the phrase ‘which book?’). In Greek, most pronouns, apart from personal pronouns, can also be used as determiners. For a table of pronouns and determiners (apart from personal pronouns) see Appendix 1.
