Towards an article on English nouns
Originally this article was about nouns in general, but was highly anglocentric. Contributors agreed to create a new noun article that dealt with nouns as part of the system of language itself, and was not confined to a particular language. Relevant material was copied from this article back to noun once the original had been moved here.
So, we now have an 'English noun' article with some content that was written for a general noun article. I have tried to make it a little more English-specific, but it still needs work. Content is often duplicated at noun, so it is possible to delete things here without losing the content completely. I suspect that readers of this article might be more interested in teaching and learning English rather than than linguistics, so it should be less technical and make more reference to the facts of English in traditional as well as modern linguistic approaches.
