1. The Determiner + Adjective and the Spanish Nominal Phrase. There seems to be universal agreement that the following types of expressions constitute nominal phrases in Spanish: (1) a. los ricos 'the rich' b. las americanas 'the Americans [-masc]', 'the American women (girls, etc.)' c. los azules 'the blues', 'the blue ones (things, types, etc.)' d. el dormido 'the one asleep' e. los cuidadosos 'the careful ones (types, people, etc.)' A significant contrast exists between the syntactic nature of the above Spanish phrases and their English counterparts. The Spanish is quite regular in all cases, employing the usual form of the article and adjective to indicate singular or plural, masculine or feminine. The English, on the other hand, is quite idiosyncratic, in more cases than not requiring some kind of nominal support such as one(s), type(s), etc., which makes the glosses of little help in determining the syntactic nature of the single type of construction in Spanish. The Spanish determiner + adjective phrase (hereafter abbreviated as det A) illustrated in 1 are not confined to the definite article, but the indefinite article, the demonstratives, and the quantifiers are also characteristically used in these constructions. The Spanish det A construction may extend to any adjective without regard to whether the referent (in the sense of Bolinger 1967) is human or nonhuman, the only restriction being the referential possibilities of the adjective
