英語の不定冠詞は不定の単数形の可算名詞に付き、複数形の可算名詞や不可算名詞には付かない。定冠詞は数や可算性とは無関係に付く。全く冠詞が付かない場合もある。

定冠詞

  • the (子音の前では普通弱形の発音となる)

英語における定冠詞は標準英文法において原則話者とその対話者間においてある特定の物体を指すときに使われる。しかし、日常生活においてある物体が話者のみに特定されている際の使用傾向も見受けられる[8]。

また、 "the" の物体に対する特定性の付与という性質から、空間としての連続体を切り離しある特定範囲を示す働きが現出する。

この"the"の働きは以下4種に大別される。

川、島嶼部等の自然境界を人為的に定義する例) the Philippines, the Mississippi River, etc."Mt. Fuji" 等が "the" による修飾を受けないのは川、島嶼部に比べ連続体としての空間から非連続体として認知しやすい傾向にあることに基づくとされている[9]。

大陸などの自然空間を人為的に定義する例) the United States of America, the United Nations, etc.

複数構成単位からなるものをひとつの物体として定義する例) the Adams, the Simpsons, etc. (アダム一家、シンプソン一家)

様態の付与例) That's not the Tom I know.(あれは私の知っているトムではない) etc.

不定冠詞

  • a (子音の前)、an (母音の前)

Mugon (Tacit, lit. Without Words) rice shōchū genshu from Sengetsu Distillery of Hitoyoshi, Kumamoto. Aged in cypress casks, I believe, it retains that telltale hinoki scent. I normally don’t drink Kuma-jōchū, but this is lovely. I’ll buy
Another one of my somewhat hard-to-find favorites. Sang Som from Thailand. So smooth. I used to keep a bottle of it at Gamaradi before the pandemic. May have to do so again. Missed it. Missed Mr. Chang.
