使用する際の注意点

In modern grammars informed by linguistics, a distinction is made whereby only a subclass of this phenomenon qualifies as true nouns: it is the subclass in which plural forms can occur and the noun can refer to entities besides people, whereas the others remain adjectives in a class of noun phrases without an expressed noun head whose referent (persons, plural) is implied.
