The article discusses the problem of the syntactic status of the determiner, which is usually not considered to be a part of the sentence proper. The author reveals that the cause of theoretical contradictions lies in mixing the morphological and the syntactic levels of the language analysis. The attribute is a part of the sentence, but the determiner is not; that’s why it would be more reasonable to treat these units alongside with parts of the sentence proper. As determiners combine characteristics of different parts of speech, they can be found on the periphery of not only parts of speech but also parts of the sentence
