5. The Nature of Abstract Nouns

"Abstract and concrete are usually defined together or
in terms of each other. The abstract is that which exists
only in our minds, that which we cannot know
through our senses. It includes
qualities, relationships, conditions, ideas, theories, sta
tes of being, fields of inquiry and the like. We cannot
know a quality such as consistency directly through
our senses; we can only see or hear about people acting
in ways that we come to label consistent."
(William Vande Kopple, Clear and Coherent Prose.
Scott, Foresman, 1989)

6. Countable and Uncountable Abstract
Nouns
 "Although abstract nouns tend to
be uncountable (courage, happiness, news, tennis, trai
ning), many are countable (an hour, a joke, a quantity).
Others can be both, often with shifts of meaning from
general to particular (great kindness/many
kindnesses)."
(Tom McArthur, "Abstract and Concrete." The Oxford
Companion to the English Language, 1992).
