German distributive expressions #
This file defines the German universal determiners jeder 'each, every' and alle 'all'. Durrell describes jeder as used only in the singular, as a determiner or a pronoun, and alle as chiefly plural, in the singular with mass nouns and mostly in formal registers. The distance distributor jeweils has no determiner use. Haslinger and colleagues class the items by obligatory distributivity and exception intolerance in their study.
