The concept of determiners is widely employed in linguistics, but mostly absent from English Language Teaching (ELT) materials (dictionaries, teacher-reference books, and student-oriented texts). Among those employing the concept, there is near-universal confusion between determiners and pronouns, arising mainly from an analytical and terminological failure to distinguish consistently between the category (determinative) and the function (specifier). I criticize this situ- ation and present linguistic evidence for a more consistent framework. I conclude by arguing that in language teaching and applied linguistics we rarely adopt advances from linguistics, not because they fail to meet some criterion of rele- vance a la Widdowson (2000), but simply because we are ignorant of linguistics in general. Le concept de determinants s’emploie largement en linguistique, mais il est tres peu present dans le materiel pedagogique pour l’enseignement de l’anglais (dic- tionnaires, manuels de reference pour les enseignants, manuels pour les etudi- ants). Parmi ceux et celles qui emploient le concept, il existe une confusion quasi universelle entre les determinants et les pronoms. Cette confusion decoule no- tamment d’une analyse erronee et d’une erreur terminologique faisant en sorte qu’on ne distingue pas toujours la categorie (determinant) de la fonction (spe- cificateur). Je critique cette situation et presente des donnees linguistiques qui plaident en faveur d’un cadre plus constant. Je conclus en affirmant qu’en en- seignement des langues et en linguistique appliquee, nous adoptons rarement les avancees du domaine de la linguistique, pas parce qu’elles ne repondent pas a des criteres de pertinence a la Widdowson (2000), mais parce que nous connaissons mal la linguistique de facon generale.
