NOUN: noun
Definition
Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing, animal or idea.
Examples
- nengyugh- “granmother (base)”,
- nengyuqa “my grandmother”
- nengyunllu “your grandmother”
If a word is further analyzed into morphemes, noun-yielding derivational morphemes are tagged as NOUN. These include noun-elaborating suffixes (N→N) that attach to nominal roots and yield nominal bases and nominalizing suffixes (V→N) that attach to verbal roots and yield nominal bases.
Examples
- -ghllag(N→N) “big N” (as in sikigllaget “big squirrels”)
- -ngugh(V→N) “one that is V” (as in kavilnguq “one that is red”)
The NOUN tag is intended for common nouns only. See PRON for pronouns.
