6. The system of article determination in English.
The category of article determination shows the relations
of the referent of the noun to the other referents of the same class.
The article is a determiner, but unlike other determiners (the
lexical means: this, that, some, any, very, etc.), it‘s so general, that
it has become a grammatical means of determination in modern
English. When no lexical determiner is used, a noun is modified
either by a definite article ‗the‘, or an indefinite one ‗a/an‘, or by
the absence of such, defined as a ―zero article‖.
