Abstrakt: | The issue of countability and uncountability of English nouns may seem simple – nouns are count
when their designations can be counted, and mass when they cannot (e.g., Huddleston & Pullum,
2002, p. 334). Consequently, we might expect that lexicographic characteristics of nouns will be
generally unequivocal: count or mass. However, a closer analysis of this issue reveals several
fundamental problems of a grammatical and lexicographic nature. The article analyses how
grammatical problems with such classifications translate into lexicographic practice. The analysis
focuses on five reputable dictionaries of English and their approaches to the issue of countability
and uncountability of selected nouns. |
