The Noun
A noun is the word that refers to a person, thing or abstract idea. A noun can tell you who or what.
Morphologically English Nouns are of 3 kinds:
Simple nouns are rootnouns that is ,they consist only of one root /boy , girl , hook , chair ,/
Derived nouns are built up with the help of prefixes , which are placed before the root/ prefixes/ and after the root / suffixes/ : dislike , remark , artist , doctor , friendship , teacher , freedom .
Here are some of the most important suffixes of nouns: -ance , -ence , -ing , -ism , -ment , -ness - -tion , -sion , -er , -or. For example : resistance , presence , meanings , agreement , decision , reality , speaker , musician.
Compound nouns consist of at last 2 roots. Most often the first is a noun / airman , footnote/ or an adjective /blackboard , greenhouse/. There are syntactic compounds which don’t contain any noun /forget –me-not , merry-go-round/
