implicitDetPluralOnlyNounPhrase(main)grammaren_us.t[5941]

An implicit determiner plural phrase is an indeterminate plural phrase without any extra determiner - i.e., the determiner is implicit. We'll treat this the same way we do a plural explicitly determined with a definite article, since this is the most natural interpretation in English.

(This might seem like a pointless extra layer in the grammar, but it's necessary for the resolution process to have a layer that explicitly declares the phrase to be determined, even though the determiner is implied in the structure. This extra layer is important because it explicitly calls results.noteMatches(), which is needed for rankings and the like.)
