"It is a widely held view in syntax that the constituents we have been calling noun phrases

(NPs) are actually determiner phrases (DPs). In this view, all nouns are inside a DP, and if a
sentence does not have an overt determiner, the head of DP will be a null element. What do you
think of this view? Explain your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with this approach, using the
concepts and terminology from the course." I am so lost because I am only taking this course as an elective and need to write a one page paper on the above-mentioned topic, please help.

Thanks
