  • Description: In traditional (e.g. Quirk style) grammars, there is confusion about the classification of the word such. This arises because there is often no clear differentiation between two such's that differ semantically and syntactically: identifying such and intensifying such. I clarify the differences and suggest that the position of such indicates that a more articulated structure, with at least a determiner phrase and a number phrase is needed to account for ‘central determiners.” Using data from the BNC I analyze intensifying such in the framework of the split‐degree‐phrase hypothesis (Corver 1997). I also consider the structure of the DP containing such, discussing the layered DP (Zamparelli 1995) and predication within the NP (Abney 1987, Bennis et al. 1998).
