The word 'this' is a determiner and a pronoun.

The word 'this' is an adjective (determiner) when placed before a noun to describe that noun.

Example: This movie is one of my favorites.

The word 'this' is a demonstrative pronoun when it takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Example: This is one of my favorite movies.

The word "this" can function as both a determiner and a pronoun. As a determiner, "this" modifies a noun (e.g., "this book"). As a pronoun, "this" stands in place of a noun (e.g., "I like this").
