Is it correct to use "Such the word"?

[Piak]

Have you ever seen "such the...."?

I think I have seen it some where but I can not remember which book it is?

Because we normally see " such a word, such a thing, such words. such things, etc.".

Please help giving advices, so that I can keep it as reference/

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Piak

hey,you said that you've seen "such the" in a book somewhere,but but don't you think that there're faults in the books or maybe it's not a standard usage of "such".As far as I know,there's no that sort of usage even though it can be accepted as the grammatical smooth.:-)

Thank you very much tdol for your kind effort in giving me such the details (Am I correct to use it that way). It is very kind of you.

Best regards,
Piak

Hi, Piak,
No, it’s impossible to say such the details. The can only stay after as such, which I understand as being such a thing. I’ve made a possible context here.
<I recommend “Getting rich quickly” by Robin Banks for reading. You know, there are books that help us in everyday life. As such (=being such kind of book) the novel is unrivalled among the latest released>.
After as such there goes a little pause, so such and the belong to different parts of the sentence.
I am not too articulate, but I hope it’s clear enough.
Regards!

[Piak]

Thank you Humble for your response to this topic of mine, and yours is another point of view that I deemed it necessary to take into consideration, because most of the time we see SUCH A / AN..... However, the sample given in 6B78 by tdol is another point of consideration. It is worth to remember for further reference, isn't it?

Thank you again.

Best regards,
Paik

[Tdol]

If you ever need samples of real phrases, use that site- it's excellent.

[Piak]

Appreciate your kind confirmation on this matter again, tdol, and I have gone on browsing the web site already, there are a lot of things to study there. Thank you again for your suggestion.

Best regards,
Piak

Hello, Piak,
I admit my conclusion that the can only go after as such was hasty and wrong. Still I am sure such the details in your sentence is not grammatical.
In 6B78 (sorry, Iam lazy to type it and unable to copy) such is not a determiner to subjects.
Such here substitutes something mentioned before, something advised to Green. I could imagine, for example the following:
Following smb's advice, Green made young girls the subjects of his pictures and that's why they were successful.
I wonder why tdol did not correct your mistake.

To my knowledge, I think you are right. As far as I know, 'such' is used like these:

such a beautiful girl (such+ indefinit article+ adjective+ a sigular noun)
such beautiful girls (such+ adjective+ a plural noun)
such girls (such+ a plural noun)
such redundancy (such + an uncountable noun)

Those are what I've found out with several authorative English grammar books. So I'd like to know the disagreement between information above and mine.

By the way, tdol, can I belive all the information that the site gives?
