Abstract

Abstract All nouns have grammatical categories of gender (Chapter 5), number (Chapter 6), and case (Chapter 7). Syntactically, a noun can be both head and dependent in possessive constructions (Chapter 8), head and modifier in an NP, and head of predicate (see §4.3 and §4.4). Derivation and compounding are discussed in Chapter 9. The types of noun phrases and their features (including word order) are addressed in Chapter 20, within the context of other multiword constituents. Nouns divide into a number of subclasses, in terms of their morphophonological properties (§,4.1.1) and in terms of semantics and correlating grammatical properties of their referents (§4.1.2).
