AB The semantic meaning of determiners present relevance in communication, as they provide lexical information in the formation of noun phrases. Each language has a different way of acknowledging these communicative elements. The present dissertation seeks to study how native Spanish (L1) learners understand the different referential scopes of given determiners in English, when they are studying it as a foreign language. Including references to the two languages, the study can help us analyse the existence of possible interferences of their native Spanish language. General and individuative expressions are compared to their respective translations in the English language: generic definite articles, indefinite articles compared with their numeral counterpart and, finally, the indefinites "some" and "any". For this purpose, a multiple-choice test based on the translation technique is proposed. The analysed results finally show little interferences from L1 to the L2.
