noun

A noun is anything that can be named.

• Nouns are sometimes further sub-divided into common and proper nouns where a common noun is a general noun not referring to anything specific; e.g.  river is a common noun where Mississippi river is a proper noun;  city is a common noun while Topeka is a proper noun.
• Another classification is abstract and concrete nouns where an abstract noun is not something that can be sensed.  A concrete noun is something that can be handled and sensed empirically.  Love, hate, justice are abstract nouns where dog, book, school are concrete nouns.

Nouns are often articular.  Nouns function as subjects, objects, or PN.  Nouns can also be in apposition.
