Collective Noun

释义 Definition

collective noun(集合名词):指表示一组人、动物或事物作为整体的名词。它在语法上有时可视为单数(强调整体),有时也可按语义视为复数(强调成员),用法因英语变体与语境而异(如英式英语更常见“集体名词 + 复数动词”)。

发音 Pronunciation (IPA)

/klktv nan/

例句 Examples

A team is a collective noun.
team 是一个集合名词。

In British English, a collective noun like “the government” can take a plural verb when the writer focuses on the members rather than the institution.
在英式英语中,像 the government 这样的集合名词,当作者强调成员而非机构整体时,可以接复数动词。

词源 Etymology

collective 来自拉丁语 collectivus(“聚集的、集合的”),与 collect(收集、聚拢)同源;noun 来自拉丁语 nomen(“名字、名词”),经由法语进入英语。合起来 collective noun 就是“表示集合整体的名词”这一语法术语。
