Nouns
Treatment
In
order
to
use
nouns
correctly
an
understanding
of
the
concept
of
boundedness
is
required.
Boundedness
tells
us
whether
a
noun
can
be
counted
or
not
and
therefore
whether
a
plural
can
be
formed.
e
concept
is
helpful
in
explaining
why
some
nouns
can
be
both
count-
able
and
uncountable.
To
know
if
a
noun
can
be
counted
we
need
to
work
out
whether
it
has
a
clear
‘boundary’
and
can
be
seen
as
a
clearly
separate
thing,
either
physically
or
in
our
minds.
In
other
words,
does
it
have
a
clear
beginning
and
end?
Cigarette

‘cigarette’
is

counted.
