一些对英语名词短语的功能分析认为，除了限定词、修饰语和名词之外，后置限定词也是一个独立的成分。然而，对于被认为是后决定因素的物品的定义或类型，没有达成共识。其他研究没有区分后置限定词，有些甚至反对它们。我建议对现代英语后置限定词进行另一种分析，该分析综合了上述所有研究的内容。我认为后置决定词不是一个单独的时段。然而，它们确实构成了英语中一个独特的模式，正如功能文献中所指出的那样，它们具有自己的语义和结构属性。所谓的后限定词应该被认为是复杂限定词的一部分。同步地，这一提议进一步追求复杂决定词与简单决定词的区别。历时上，我假设结构复杂的限定词是古英语和中世纪早期英语发展的自然结果，导致有定冠词和不定冠词成为英语名词短语中的典型限定词。
Several functional analyses of the English noun phrase have proposed postdeterminers as a separate element in addition to determiners, modifiers and noun. However, there is no consensus on the definition or the types of item that are considered postdeterminers. Other studies do not distinguish postdeterminers, and some even argue against them. I propose an alternative analysis of Present-Day English (PDE) postdeterminers that incorporates aspects of all the studies cited above. I argue that postdeterminers are not a separate slot. However, they do constitute a distinctive pattern in English with their own semantics and structural properties as suggested in the functional literature. What have been called postdeterminers should be conceived of as part of complex determinatives. Synchronically, this proposal further pursues the distinction of complex versus simple determinatives. Diachronically, I hypothesise that structurally complex determinatives are a natural consequence of the Old and early Middle English developments leading to the definite and indefinite articles as prototypical determinatives in the English noun phrase.
