The study examines the status of functional elements in the noun
phrase, with special reference to articles, demonstratives and
quantifiers. It takes its bearings from generative theories on the
structure of the noun phrase, notably Abney's DP analysis. In the
course of the discussion theories on lexical and functional
categories in the noun phrase are modified. There is also an
outline of the acquisition of initial quantifiers in infant speech.
Finally, the language acquisition data are drawn upon to make out a
case for a minimalist noun phrase structure, accepting only D and Q
as (not necessarily universal) functional heads in the noun phrase.
