In sentences, noun phrases may function in a variety of different ways, the most obvious being as subjects (performers of action) or objects (recipients of action). For example, in the sentence "John wrote me a letter", "John" is the subject, and "me" and "letter" are objects (of which "letter" is a noun and "me" a pronoun). These different roles are known as noun cases. Variant forms of the same noun—such as "he" (subject) and ...

Below we see examples of all these properties for the count noun cow and the mass noun cattle. As alway ...

This article is about the philosophical term . For the construction material, see Concrete. For the comic book, see Concrete (comics). In philosophy, a concept is considered concrete if it is not abstract: it must be both particular and an individual, and hence occupy both space and time. To say that a physical object is concrete is to say, approximately, that it is a particular individual t ...

In construction, concrete is a composite building material made from the combination of aggregate and cement binder. The most common form of concrete is Portland cement concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally gravel and sand), Portland cement and water. Contrary to common belief, concrete does not solidify from drying after mixing and placement. Instead, the cement hydrates, gluing the other components together and eventually creating a stone-like material. When used in the generic sense, this is the material referred ...

In computer science, Abstract interpretation is a theory of sound approximation of the semantics of computer programs, based on monotonic functions over ordered sets, especially lattices. It can be viewed as a partial execution of a computer program which gains information about its semantics (e.g. control structure, flow of information) without performing all the calculations. Its main concrete application is formal static analysis, the automatic extraction of information about the possible executions of computer programs; suc ...

In mathematics, a concrete category is a category in which, roughly speaking, all objects are sets possibly carrying some additional structure, all morphisms are functions between those sets, and the composition of morphisms is the composition of functions. The prototypical concrete category is Set, the category of sets and functions. Most categories considered in everyday life are concrete; examples are Top, the category of topological spaces and continuous functions, and Grp the category of groups and gro ...

Concrete domes have been used in building construction for millennia. The Pantheon in Rome, completed about AD 125, has a massive concrete dome 43m in diameter. The Seattle Kingdome was the world's first (and only) concrete-domed multi-purpose stadium. It was completed in 1976 and demolished in 2000. Monolithic domes constructed of a thin shell of concrete are a form of concrete domes dating from the 1970s. They are unique due to the lack of interior structures needed for support. Advocates of these domes consider them t ...

Asphalt concrete, normally known simply as asphalt, is a composite material commonly used for construction of paved roads, highways and parking lots. It consists of asphalt binder and mineral aggregate mixed together, laid down in layers and compacted. Mixing of asphalt and aggregate is accomplished in one of three ways: Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (commonly abbreviated as HMAC) is produced by heating the asphalt in order to decrease its viscosity and drying the aggregate to remove moisture from it prior to mix ...

Concrete poetry is poetry in which the typographical arrangement of words is as important in conveying the intended effect as the conventional elements of the poem, such as meaning of words, rhythm, rhyme and so on. It is the self-consciously radical form of the technique of visual poetry (a term sometimes applied to concrete poetry). The term was coined in the 1950s, and in 1956 an international exhibition of concrete poetry was shown in São Paulo, inspired by the work of Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Two years later, a ...

Several collective nouns perform double, triple or even more duties. "Herd" is a legitimate collective noun for dozens of animals and (rather curiously) the mythical fairy. Also interestingly, "herd" can be used with wild horses and domestic cattle, but not with domestic horses. Likewise, "flock" is a generic collective noun for all sorts of flying birds and also for sheep. The all-time champion collective noun is "set", for it can legitimately be used as a collective noun for a vast number of concepts (a set of ideals, ...

Many nouns used are colourful, or even fanciful; this originated in an English hunting tradition (of uncertain origin) for giving poetic names to prey. (The phrase "terms of venery" is an archaic synonym for collective nouns - "venery" in this context meaning the "act of hunting"). For this reason, most collective nouns refer to animals. This tradition dates back to at least the 15th century. Many of these original collective nouns are archaic: a "harass of horses" doesn't s ...
