Определение

В английском языке существует два вида определений: препозитивное и постпозитивное. Наибольшее распространение в английском языке получил первый вид определения, а именно препозитивное. Англичане как бы стремятся к тому, чтобы появление того или иного предмета в нашем сознании не было абстрактным, не подготовленным конкретными определениями, теми или иными ограничителями. Этим обусловлено обязательное наличие какого-либо детерминатива перед существительным. Отсюда же проистекает развитие атрибутивного употребления существительного в препозиции к другому существительному: the table top, a shop door и цепочки определений: a strict never-to-be-late warning.
