The object, how- ever, though grammatically an adverbial term, is really a kind of obverse subject, and becomes the formal subject by a simple shift in the construc- tion: Luke wrote Acts; Acts was written by Luke. The division commonly made of nouns into "common," "proper," "collective," "abstract," and "material," since it relates to their content, would seem to be less the affair of grammar than 1 My insistence on this point is not because, like Jack Cade in the play, I would have no men abo...ut that talk of a noun and a verb, for we need these terms for such cases above as axe formally shown. But at present they betray school text-books that rest "parsing" upon function into tacitly retaining the other criteria. It seems wholly mischievous that pupils should be put on their mettle to use logically definitions that are not logically valid. What we need further are certain neutral terms, so that one could specify, for example, the "attributive" use of cannon in a cannon foundry without having to class it as either 'adjective' or 'noun' — terms that refer to its average context, not to the particular context under view.
