of predication, verbal expression of the constituents of this structure is subconsiously morphologically and syntactically
connected with prototypical concepts created in human mentality and language in the process of evolution. Thus, the definitions
of the parts of speech have to include all their prototypical characteristics: semantic and formal.The prototypical
semantics of the English noun is substantiality. Basic prototypical formal characteristics of the noun are: case, ability to be
determined by the definite article and to be combined with a preposition; syntactically it functions as a subject, predicative
and attributive modifier of other nouns.
