DT Determiners

Definition

Determiners excluding demonstratives (the, a, an, etc.).

Detection Rules

Uses cat refinement for DEMO, DEMOP (both have refines: DT). QUAN needs explicit exclusion (matches multiple POS: DT, PDT, JJ, etc.).

cql[cat="DT"]
combine: _ & !QUAN

Requires: pos

mfte

MFTE counts residual DT after re-tagging demonstratives and quantifiers. All excluded by index overlap — only hits that actually match DT-tagged tokens are removed.

cql[pos="DT"]
combine: _ & !DEMO & !DEMOP & !QUAN

Requires: pos

Normalization

Per nouns
