Post determiner ditempatkan setelah predeterminer.
Pada contoh diatas saya melihat, post determiner ditempatkan setelah “the”bukankah the itu central determiner?
Halo Suhendi…
Jika predeterminer ada (lihat diagram di di atas) ditempatkan di depan semuanya…maafkan jika tdk detail di definisinya.
Maaf mbak, saya masih kurang ngerti
Bisakah beri contoh secara langsung?
+/- predeterminer +/- central determiner +/- post determiner + noun
contoh:
(-) + (the) + (first) + (class) = the first class
(all) + (these) + (-) + books = all these books
