Bare noun phrase
From Teflpedia
A bare noun phrase is a noun phrase that lacks a determiner slot. These are found in English and related languages.
If the determiner slot is empty, then it’s not a bare NP.
The test for this is whether a determiner could be added to the text while retaining well-formedness.
A determined noun phrase consist of a determiner + bare NP.
