Wikipedia

Noun

A noun (from Latin nōmen 'name') is a word that generally functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.

Lexical categories (parts of speech) are defined in terms of the ways in which their members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules for nouns differ between languages. In English, nouns are those words which can occur with articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase. "As far as we know, every language makes a grammatical distinction that looks like a noun verb distinction."

Examples of use of abstract noun

1. But you cant physically fight an abstract noun, and you can never make poverty history, because poverty is a relative concept.

2. But this war is being waged against an abstract noun: ‘terrorism‘. The trouble with abstract nouns is that they cannot sign peace treaties to signal when POWs should be sent home.

3. Truthfully, though, the day on which this war on an abstract noun came kicking and screaming into the world seems very long ago indeed, which is possibly why the US president attempted to rename it "the long war" last year.

4. It is all very well calling for greater openness in the manner in which this war on an abstract noun is perpetrated, but when the vision behind the curtain is this bathetic, there seems to be a strong case for not letting daylight in on magic.

5. And yet people who would not give Nice Nationalism, or Improved Politics the time of day, will debate, as solemnly as can be, almost any abstract noun preceded by the word "progressive". Although, admittedly, I do not think Progressive Gormlessness has ever been put to the test.
