Demystifying a relatively new word class
"they can contain also more elements, as in the noun phrase almost all shoes, where we regard almost all as a Determinative Phrase."
Would you please tell me which determinative functions as the Head of the determinative phrase "almost all"?
Thanks in advance for your help.
It would be ‘all’, because ‘almost’ modifies ‘all’, which you can’t leave out.
Oh, okay. Your response is very much appreciated, sir.
