This article provides an overview of what is known as the noun phrase (NP) versus determiner phrase (DP) debate. I first revisit the arguments by which a language would be assigned an NP or rather a DP structure, followed by the proper characterisation, function and features of determiners. I then summarise the typological endeavour of Bošković, surveying some of the syntactic and semantic correlates of the NP versus DP parameter and applying four of the diagnostics Bošković developed to Turkish as well as providing examples from other languages such as Korean, Vietnamese and Lithuanian. For each diagnostic, I provide some counterarguments that cast doubt on the validity of those diagnostics. I conclude, in line with Kornfilt (2017, 2018) that proposing correlations between an NP or a DP status of the nominal domain and a certain clustering of syntactic or semantic properties should be abandoned.

NP与DP辩论的概述

本文概述了所谓的名词短语（NP）与确定短语（DP）的争论。首先，我将重新讨论将语言分配给NP或DP结构的论据，然后是确定词的正确表征，功能和特征。然后，我总结了Bošković的类型学研究，调查了NP vs DP参数的一些句法和语义相关性，并应用了Bošković开发到土耳其语的四种诊断方法，并提供了其他语言（例如韩语，越南语和立陶宛语）的示例。对于每种诊断，我提供了一些反驳意见，这些质疑使人们对这些诊断的有效性产生怀疑。最后，根据科恩菲尔特（2017年，
