0 in grammar, a word that is sometimes used before a determiner to give more information about a noun in a noun phrase: --
First, this element is taken to be a predeterminer because it occurs before the indefinite article, as in.
Quirk et al. (1985: 451), for instance, recognize the intensifying function of such, but whereas they class quite and rather as adverbs, they class such as a predeterminer.
In these works, however, 'predeterminer ' is the name of a category (or subcategory within the determiner category), rather than of a function, as in our own usage.
Note further that as a predeterminer such only combines with the indefinite article, whereas as a postdeterminer it allows a wider range of combinations with other determiners.
Another exemption concerns adjectives in predeterminer position.
