In linguistics, determiner spreading (DS), also known as Multiple or Double Determiners is the appearance of more than one determiner associated with a noun phrase, usually marking an adjective as well as the noun itself. The extra determiner has been called an adjectival determiner because determiner spreading is most commonly found in adjectival phrases. Typical examples involve multiple occurrences of the definite article or definiteness marking, such is found in (but not limited to) the languages listed below. The structure of such phrases is widely discussed and there is not one conclusive analysis. Because of this, the example languages below each show unique structure where different proposed analyses have been used. Researchers have found when a language shows ellipsis within a Determiner phrase, and in particular those with adjective phrases, determiner spreading does not occur. Due to this, we do not find determiner spreading in languages such as Romance Languages as well as English. Languages with determiner spreading Determiner spreading in Albanian Determiner spreading is found in Albanian where two definite articles are used for just one referent boy. As shown in (1) and (2), the ordering of the noun and the adjective does not matter, as long as the determiner falls before the adjective. In Albanian, either of these sentence constructions in (1) and (2) are grammatical to mean the good boy. In both of the sentences the determiner i marks the referent boy. It is noted that the determiner i is a morphological entity to mark the adjectival class rather than definiteness of the noun, as is found in Greek below. Modern Greek In Modern Greek, determiner spreading is not obligatory, and it contrasts with a non-spreading example in (3): (3) The sentence above has an ambiguous meaning explained by the last two lines in the sentence above in (3). Both the meanings (i) and (ii) are grammatical with non-determiner spreading. However when DS is introduced, the sentence no longer takes on an ambiguous meaning. Determiner spreading in the example in (4) has eliminated the ambiguity, rendering the second meaning in (ii) to be ungrammatical. (4) The question that is being posed in (5) requires an answer to differentiate which kind of pen, silver or gold. The response in (6) shows determiner spreading occurring because the adjective is a "restrictive modifier". (5) (6) Researchers believe that determiner spreading only occurs when the phrase has an "intersective reading". Meaning
