What is a "distributive determiner"?
A distributive determiner is a word that refers to members of a group individually rather than collectively, indicating how the nouns relate to one another. Common distributive determiners include "each," "every," "either," and "neither." For example, in the phrase "Each student must submit their homework," the determiner "each" specifies that every individual student is considered separately. Similarly, in "Either option is acceptable," the determiner "either" refers to one of two possibilities individually. Distributive determiners are important for clarifying relationships among nouns and emphasizing individuality within groups, making communication more precise.
