+--1 Noun: Nouns, noun phrases, and determiners
+
+abstract Noun = Cat ** {
+
+
+--2 Noun phrases
+
+-- The three main types of noun phrases are
+-- - common nouns with determiners
+-- - proper names
+-- - pronouns
+--
+--
+  fun
+    DetCN   : Det -> CN -> NP ;   -- the man
+    UsePN   : PN -> NP ;          -- John
+    UsePron : Pron -> NP ;        -- he
+
+-- Pronouns are defined in the module [``Structural`` Structural.html].
+
+-- A noun phrase already formed can be modified by a $Predet$erminer.
+
+    PredetNP : Predet -> NP -> NP; -- only the man 
+
+-- A noun phrase can also be postmodified by the past participle of a
+-- verb, by an adverb, or by a relative clause
+
+    PPartNP : NP -> V2  -> NP ;    -- the man seen
+    AdvNP   : NP -> Adv -> NP ;    -- Paris today
+    RelNP   : NP -> RS  -> NP ;    -- Paris, which is here
+
+-- Determiners can form noun phrases directly.
+
+    DetNP   : Det -> NP ;  -- these five
+
+
+--2 Determiners
+
+-- The determiner has a fine-grained structure, in which a 'nucleus'
+-- quantifier and two optional parts can be discerned: a cardinal and
+-- an ordinal numeral.
+
+    DetQuantOrd : Quant -> Num -> Ord -> Det ;  -- these five best
+    DetQuant    : Quant -> Num        -> Det ;  -- these five
+
+-- Whether the resulting determiner is singular or plural depends on the
+-- cardinal.
+
+-- All parts of the determiner can be empty, except $Quant$, which is
+-- the "kernel" of a determiner. It is, however, the $Num$ that determines
+-- the inherent number.
+
+    NumSg   : Num ;
+    NumPl   : Num ;
+    NumCard : Card -> Num ;
+
+-- $Card$ consists of either digits or numeral words.
+
+    NumDigits  : Digits  -> Card ;  -- 51
+    NumNumeral : Numeral -> Card ;  -- fifty-one
+
+-- The construction of numerals is defined in [Numeral Numeral.html].
+
+-- A $Card$ can  be modified by certain adverbs.
+
+    AdNum : AdN -> Card -> Card ;   -- almost 51
+
+-- An $Ord$ consists of either digits or numeral words.
+-- Also superlative forms of adjectives behave syntactically like ordinals.
+
+    OrdDigits  : Digits  -> Ord ;  -- 51st
+    OrdNumeral : Numeral -> Ord ;  -- fifty-first
+    OrdSuperl  : A       -> Ord ;  -- warmest
+
+-- Definite and indefinite noun phrases are sometimes realized as
+-- neatly distinct words (Spanish "un, unos ; el, los") but also without
+-- any particular word (Finnish; Swedish definites).
+
+    DetArtOrd  : Art -> Num  -> Ord -> Det ;  -- the (five) best
+    DetArtCard : Art -> Card        -> Det ;  -- the five
+
+    IndefArt   : Art ;
+    DefArt     : Art ;
+
+-- Articles cannot alone form noun phrases, but need a noun.
+
+    DetArtSg   : Art -> CN -> NP ;   -- the man
+    DetArtPl   : Art -> CN -> NP ;   -- the men
+
+-- Nouns can be used without an article as mass nouns. The resource does
+-- not distinguish mass nouns from other common nouns, which can result
+-- in semantically odd expressions.
+
+    MassNP    : CN -> NP ;            -- (beer)
+
+-- Pronouns have possessive forms. Genitives of other kinds
+-- of noun phrases are not given here, since they are not possible
+-- in e.g. Romance languages. They can be found in $Extra$ modules.
+
+    PossPron : Pron -> Quant ;    -- my (house)
+
+-- Other determiners are defined in [Structural Structural.html].
+
+
+
+--2 Common nouns
+
+-- Simple nouns can be used as nouns outright.
+
+    UseN : N -> CN ;              -- house
+
+-- Relational nouns take one or two arguments.
+
+    ComplN2 : N2 -> NP -> CN ;    -- mother of the king
+    ComplN3 : N3 -> NP -> N2 ;    -- distance from this city (to Paris)
+
+-- Relational nouns can also be used without their arguments.
+-- The semantics is typically derivative of the relational meaning.
+
+    UseN2   : N2 -> CN ;          -- mother
+    Use2N3  : N3 -> N2 ;          -- distance (from this city)
+    Use3N3  : N3 -> N2 ;          -- distance (to Paris)
+
+-- Nouns can be modified by adjectives, relative clauses, and adverbs
+-- (the last rule will give rise to many 'PP attachment' ambiguities
+-- when used in connection with verb phrases).
+
+    AdjCN   : AP -> CN  -> CN ;   -- big house
+    RelCN   : CN -> RS  -> CN ;   -- house that John bought
+    AdvCN   : CN -> Adv -> CN ;   -- house on the hill
+
+-- Nouns can also be modified by embedded sentences and questions.
+-- For some nouns this makes little sense, but we leave this for applications
+-- to decide. Sentential complements are defined in [Verb Verb.html].
+
+    SentCN  : CN -> SC  -> CN ;   -- question where she sleeps
+
+--2 Apposition
+
+-- This is certainly overgenerating.
+
+    ApposCN : CN -> NP -> CN ;    -- city Paris (, numbers x and y)
+
