Syntactic functions of a noun. Syntactical Functions of Nouns. In a sentence, a noun can be a subject, an object, a nominal part of a compound predicate (predicative member), a definition or part of a definition, and part of an adverbial clause. a) Noun – subject: The delegates went to their places. Tom is my pupil. The actor played his part well.
Morphological characteristics of a noun. Morphological Characteristics of Nouns. Nouns in English change in number and case, but do not have grammatical form kind. Genus. Gender In modern English, gender is a semantic concept and refers only to nouns denoting living things that can be said to be masculine or feminine; all inanimate objects are considered to be neuter. To express the concept of gender in English, lexical means are used: a girl-friend - friend a boy-friend - friend a woman-worker - worker a he-goat - goat she-wolf - she-wolf The suffix –ess is also used as an indicator of the feminine gender: actor – actress; host – hostess; lion – lioness; tiger - tigress. When personified, objects are also given a gender, depending on the situation and size, while the sun is masculine; the moon - the moon is feminine.
Number. Number. Nouns in English have a singular and plural form: cat – cats, wall – walls, box – boxes, wife – wives, country – countries, foot – feet, ox – oxen. The singular form is conveyed by the so-called “zero” ending, i.e. lack of a formal plural.
Plural of a noun. The usual plural form of a noun is the ending -s, which is pronounced differently depending on the spelling and pronunciation of the final sound of the noun stem. a) after the final voiceless consonant of the stem, the ending -s is pronounced [s]: week – weeks lip – lips roof – roofs b) after the final voiced consonant or vowel of the stem, the ending –s is pronounced [z]: head – heads garden – gardens wall – walls c) after final hissing or whistling sounds, stems expressed in spelling by the letters s (s), x, z or combinations of letters ch, tch, sh, the plural ending is written – es and pronounced: class – classes box – boxes match – matches d) if the stem ends in the sounds [z] or , which are expressed by the letters se, ze or (d)ge, the plural ending is pronounced: nose - noses prize – prizes bridge - bridges e) some nouns that have the letters f or at the end of the stem fe, in the plural change the final voiceless consonant sound of the base [f] to a voiced consonant sound [v]; the plural ending is written in this case - ves and pronounced: wolf – wolves leaf – leaves wife - wives
A number of words borrowed from Latin and Greek in the 15th century retain their plural forms: Latin words: antenna - antennae formula - formula - formulae datum - given - data erratum - typo - errata genius - spirit, demon - genii radius – radius – radii stimulus – stimulus - stimuli
Possessive Case of singular nouns has the ending – s, which is pronounced as [s] after voiceless consonants, [z] after voiced consonants and vowels and after hissing and whistling sounds, represented in spelling by the letters s (s), ce, se, x , ze, (d) ge or combinations of the letters ch, tch, sh: Possessive Case nouns in the singular have the ending – s, which is pronounced as [s] after voiceless consonants, [z] after voiced consonants and vowels and after hissing and whistling sounds represented in spelling by the letters s (s), ce, se, x, ze, (d) ge or combinations of the letters ch, tch, sh: The peasant's house the cat's tail A month's leave James's wife Nouns ending in the plural in –(e)s, form Possessive Case in the plural by adding only an apostrophe to the ending: The horses' hoofs The dogs' collars The boys' skates.
Classification of Nouns. Classification of nouns. Proper Nouns are the names of certain individual persons, concepts, places, objects and belong only to these persons, concepts, places and objects and therefore do not need an article, which is not usually used with them: Mary Petrova, Moscow, England. Common Nouns are the names of an entire category or class of persons, objects or concepts and therefore require an article, which in English is used with common nouns to classify them into this category or to separate them from it: This is a room. She entered the room where we were sitting.
Some of the uncountable nouns are almost never used as countable nouns. The most important of them are the following: Work - work Weather - weather Information - information Money - money News - news, Advice - advice Progress - success Permission - permission What fine weather we are having today! It was such interesting work. The news that the telegraph brought us was very good.
Plural and collective nouns. A noun can be the name of not one object, but a group of objects or persons considered as a single whole. Such nouns are called collective nouns: Class, army, party, group, crew, family, flock, herd These nouns can be considered not as the name of a single thing, but as the name of a group of persons or objects, of which there are two, three or more: The company were entering the theater through different doors. At midnight the crew were asleep.
Article. The Article. The article is a formal word that serves in speech as a sign of a noun, defining it. In English there is an indefinite article – an, a, a definite article the and zero article. Indefinite article. The indefinite article comes from the numeral one - one and has two forms: an, standing before nouns starting with a vowel sound or having a definition in front of it, starting with a vowel sound: An apple, an old tree 2) a, standing before nouns starting with consonant sound or having in front of it a definition starting with a consonant sound: A tree, a big apple. The indefinite article has limited possibilities of use: it can only stand before countable nouns in the singular: A flower, an orange a) the indefinite article is used before a noun in cases where we name some object (person or concept) and thereby refer to it to any category of objects, persons or concepts, contrasting it with an object belonging to another category. Bring me one pencil. Bring me any pencil. Bring me a pencil. b) the indefinite article is also used if the noun has a descriptive attribute: This is a red flower. (category of red flowers) If, when naming an object and assigning it to some category, we have a countable noun in the plural or an uncountable noun, which cannot be preceded by an indefinite article, then before such nouns there is formally no article or the zero article is used (zero article): These are flowers. They want to become teachers. I don't want to drink milk.
Definite article. The definite article comes from demonstrative pronoun that – that and has one form the: 1) before nouns starting with a consonant sound, or before a definition starting with a consonant sound: the boy, the big apple 2) before nouns starting with a vowel sound, or before a definition starting with vowel sound: the evening, the old house The definite article can appear before all types of nouns. a) the definite article is used when it is necessary to highlight a noun within a given category, a given class of objects or concepts, contrasting it with objects of the same category: Give me the pencil b) the definite article is used when we believe that there is only one object or concept that bears given name: The sun, the moon, the earth c) the definite article is used when a given singular noun is representative of an entire class or category: The lion is the king of beasts. The camel is called the ship of the desert.
Nouns - proper names - are usually used without an article: Moscow, Petrov, Paris, London In some cases, many proper nouns are used with articles, especially with the definite article. All these cases can be combined into three groups: 1) when the article is used in connection with some historically established tradition. This primarily applies to the names of localities, cities and states: The Crimea the Caucasus 2) when the article does not actually refer to own name, and to the common noun included in it or associated with it - a) names of countries, including plural nouns: The USSR, the United States b) names of mountain ranges: The Alps, the Rockies c) names of archipelagos, islands: The West Indies, the Hawaii But: the name of a separate mountain or one island is used without an article: Elbrus, Madagascar d) surnames of the whole family, more precisely all family members: The Browns, the Petrovs e) names of rivers, seas, oceans, countries of the world: The Neva , the Baltic Sea, the Pacific, the North, the East e) names of ships, hotels, newspapers and magazines: The Golden Lion, the Times 3) when a proper noun is used in the meaning of a common noun: He is a real Newton. In many cases, nouns preceded by prepositions perform the function of adverbs in a sentence, being various adverbial words. In these cases, nouns lose their specificity, and the article is not used before them: By land, by sea, by air, by hand, at night, in dept
Exercises I. Find in the word list a Collective Noun for a number of: 1)sheep, 2) cows and bulls, 3) dogs or wolves, 4) flies or other insects, 5) flowers or keys, 6) footballers, 7 ) men who work a boat or ship, 8) people chosen to direct some work, 9) people at a concert or at a lecture, 10) teachers at a school or officials.
