−	~~==Definition==~~
−	''Article'' is a special kind of [[determiner (definition)\| determiners]]. In English ''the'' and ''a/an'' are articles. They typically indicate if we are talking about some specific referent (e.g. 'the table'), or some item that hasn't been identified with a specific referent in the discourse (e..g a table). There are two major kinds of articles: [[Definite (definition)\|definite]] and [[Indefinite (definition)\|indefinite]].
