The study finds answers to the questions,“What determiner types are there in the Mo/Deg language, and in what order do they collocate with the head of the noun phrase?”  \nUsing purposive sampling, the study gathered data from forty (40) literate native speakers ofthe Mo/Deg language who were also very proficient in English. Short simple English sentences containing noun phrases with pre-determiners of all kind, central determiners of all types, and post-determiners of all kind were designed and given to the respondents torewrite in Mo/Deg. This was to observe the order of determiners in the language. Also, some of these sentences were given to some staff of the Mo/Deg project of the Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation (GILLBT) to translate into Mo/Deg since they are deemed to have deeper knowledge of the language. This was to ensure further correctness of the use and order of determiners in the language. The translations comprised the data which was analysed using the Systemic Grammar principles of the NG structure. The results showed that the Mo/Deg language has pre-determiner items and that these pre-determiners are not followed by any other words like adjectives. It further showed that it is permissible for some members of the same pre-determiner class to co-occur. The study further found out that the Mo/Deg language has three types of post-head determiners: the post-head post-determiners, the posthead central determiners, and the post-head pre-determiners. It therefore concluded that the Mo/Deg language has avery complex determiner structure.  \nKeywords: Mo/Deg, determiner, post-head, GILLBT, post-predeterminer, Longoro  \n1. Introduction  \nThe Mo/Deg language belongs to the gur (voltaic) language family and is spoken by over thirty thousand (30,000) people within the Brong-Ahafo and the Northern Regions of Ghana. The two regions are divided by the Black Volta which also separates the two major Mo/Dega towns, New-Longoro (Mantukwa) in Brong-Ahafo Region and Bamboi (Gbambwe) in Northern Region. According to Atta-Akorsah (2004 : p 13 – 15), the whole Mo/Degland was within the Ashanti Territory till the British colonial government carved out the Northern Territory in 1908, using the Black Volta river as the boundary without due consideration of the fact that one ethnic group had been divided over two territories. The people are therefore split among the Bole District in the North, the Kintampo and the Wenchi municipalities in Brong-Ahafo.  \nThe Mo/Dega in the north speak the Mangom dialect in places such as Bamboi, Jama, Jugboi, Nepui (Kapinta), Tasilima, and a few other places, while those in the south speak the Longoro dialect in places like: Busuama, NewLongoro, Kintampo, Old Longoro, Manchala, Fignyoa (Ahenakom), Kandige, Yaara, Tarbang, Soronuasi, Babatokuma, and other places. Within the Longoro dialect is another brand of the Mangom dialect different from the northern Mangom, and it is spoken in Mansie (Nyambwe) . The language is also spoken in places like Adadiem, Dokachina and Bonakire in the Jaman North District of the Brong-Ahafo region, and Dwoboi, Wireke and Zagala in L’Cote d’Ivoire. Deg in the language means “multiply” or a person who speaks Deg and Dega is","cbCaia6y5X548kao","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia6y5X548kao","pdf",184694,12,"English","# Abstract\n# 1. Introduction\n# 2.
