The recent precision that was brought to bear on noun classification I
found extremely helpful (generic nouns, mass and count nouns,
qualitative nouns, abstract nouns, etc.). Can anyone recommend some very
good resources that assists understanding this area of "applied/
practical
linguistics?"
I found the following resources on the UBS web page
(www.biblesociety.org) catalog for translators. Are
these exceptionally good or are there others that are exceptionally
better so that I do not order them blindly?
Thanks,
Wes Williams
