II.-OF THE NOUN. A NOUN is the name of any person, place, or thing; and may be known by its taking an article before it, or making sense of itself; as, a house, the sun, modesty, industry, chastity. Order for Parsing the Noun. A noun, and why? proper or common, or why? gender, person, number, case, and why? A noun is said to be proper when it is appropriated to an individual; as London, George, Thames. It is said to be common when it stands for kinds containing many sorts, or for sorts containing many individuals under them; as animal, man, tree, &c. Gender is the consideration of nouns with regard to sex. There are three genders, the masculine, feminine, and neuter. 'The masculine gender denotes animals of the male kind; as, a man, a horse, &c. The feminine denotes an animal of the female kind; as, a woman, &c.; and the neuter denotes objects which are neither male nor female; as, a house, a field.* * Of the animal world, {All males are masculine, and And all the objects of the vegeta-Form the neuter. ble and inanimate kingdom, By a figure of speech called personification, by which life and action are attributed to inanimate objects, many neuter nouns, especially by the poets, are converted into the masculine or feminine; in which case, the giver, and those objects which are of a masculine and warlike nature, are put in the masculine; while the receiver, and objects assimilated with the feminine, on account of music, beauty, benevolence, or goodness, are made femi nine. Sun, the giver of light, is masculine; Moon, receiver, is feminine; time is always masculine, being described in ncn3s vra trind pr 3s A sick'ning heart conceals:2 17 18 conc'ls steals prep art ncn 3s 10 rule a 8 a 8 ncn3s vir n ind pr 3 s Invading sorrow1 steals.2 adv prep ncn3s gov'd by through 17 In vain, through beauty, fortune, wit, art ncn3s pro vra trind pr 1 plu. and agrees with we pro see is adv prep art It' dwells not in the trace;2 a 8 ncn 3 s 17 faithless smile rpro vra trind pr 3 s n pr fem 3 s 10 rule n c n 3 s That' brightens2 Clodia's adv art n c obj (finds) d a p Perhaps the joy3 to art face. part these [persons] deny'd, ncn3s prep ncn 3s 17 vir a tr ind pr 3 s interj prep Of visionary minds! adv pos a p a 8 ncn 3 plu vr ind pr 3 pl Howe'er our varying notions' rove,2 con ind a p 8 see is r plu ind a pro Yet all [persons] agree in one, [notion which is] vr a tr inf pp 10 n cn3s ind a pro ncn 3 s 17 To place its being in some state, prep ncn3s 17 prep pap8 inter a8 ncn 3 s 17 O blind [persons] to each indulgent aim 25 30 35 prep nen 3s 17 adv a in the superlative of eminence, and beOf power supremely wise, rel to per vra trind pr 2 plu ncn3s ncn 3 s 17 vra trind pr 3 s denies.2 (which) a 8 is adv art n cn3s vir a tr ind pr 1 plu Vain is alike the joy' [which] we1 seek,2 a 8 is that joy which vra trind pr 1 p what we' possess 40 45 PERSON AND NUMBER. Person, is the different situation of nouns in a sentence. There are two persons, second and third; the second person denotes the person spoken to, and the third, the person spoken of.* Number is the consideration of an object, as one, or many. There are two numbers, the singular and the plural; the singular denotes but one object; as, a chair, a table; the plural more than one; as, chairs, tables. prints and poetry, as a man with a scythe, and king of terrors. Faith, hope, charity, religion, are represented by the painters as a mother and three daughters, on account of their being the most lovely objects in nature. Tiger, lion, wolf, hawk, kite, eagle, falcon, are masculine, on account of their ravenous and warlike char acters. On the other hand, dove and nightingale are both feminine; one on account of its beauty, and the other for its melody. * A noun has no such thing as a first person, this being always denoted by the pronoun I and we; I can say, I am writing on the subject of Grammar, but I cannot say, Barrett am writing on Grammar; it ought to be, Barrett is writing; although Barrett is the antecedent of I, yet when I speak of myself, and say, Barrett is doing so and so; Barrett is as much spoken of as any other person, and as long as it is spoken of, it must be in the third person. Moses, Josephus, and all the writers of antiquity, speak of themselves. In the five books of Moses, written expressly by himself, we find him invariably spoken of. Josephus, speaking of himself, says, "Josephus leads his legion to the assault;" and again he says,-"one Josephus, allied to the Kings and Priests, performs the most astonishing feats of valour, until he (not I) was taken prisoner by the Romans." Our modern very learned Grammarians would never dream that Josephus was of the first person. QUERY.-Is the verb performs, first person singular, to agree with Josephus; which is a noun in the third person singular? |
