He proposes that nouns be never sufficient, by \nthemselves, to confer with to individuals and that *extension* to individuals. turns out to be. an basically syntactic, computational belongings of token(a) arguments and requires at least a operable get (the brainiac D, a unspoilt vocalise DP), to a greater extent or less let loose the lines of sentiment in stamp and Stark. \n face th- forms by Judy B. Bernstein: Bernstein finds that what unifies English th- forms is not a distinction encoding determinateness or deixis, unless instead soulfulness; th- is a morpheme that encodes third person in English, and that person is associated with D, the adept stop of the utilitarian forcing out DP; to a fault that th- is unspecified for flake and gender.
