In linguistics, a noun is a member of a large, open lexical category whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.

Lexical categories are defined in terms of how their members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules for nouns differ from language to language. In English, nouns may be defined as those words which can occur with articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase.

In traditional English grammar, the noun is one of the eight parts of speech.

Why are there feminine and masculine nouns in some languages as well as neuter? What is the origin?
Q. I am learning French and Spanish as a beginner and was wondering why these languages have masculine and feminine classification of nouns on objects. German has three classifications: masculine, feminine, and neuter. What is the origin of masculine/feminine objects on different languages? Why doesn't English have a system of nouns like this? English is a Germanic language like German but somehow it does not follow gender rules on objects. Why is that?

A. In inflected languages, gender distinctions were originally grammatical. In other words, the gender of a noun was usually based on the final letter of the stem. In Greek, for example, words that originally ended in -a were feminine, nouns that ended in -o were masculine, and words that ended in a consonant could be either masculine or feminine. Also, originally, this was really just a distinction in endings. The association with "masculine" and "feminine" came from the fact that words ending in -a were declined just like the words for "she," "woman," etc. Over time, the association between actual feminine words and words that were declined like the feminine words was formed. English originally had gender distinctions just like other Indo- [cont.]
