Mass noun
In linguistics, a mass noun, uncountable noun, or non-count noun is a noun with the syntactic property that any quantity of it is treated as an undifferentiated unit, rather than as something with discrete elements. Non-count nouns are distinguished from count nouns.
Count noun
In linguistics, a count noun is a noun that can be modified by a numeral and that occurs in both singular and plural forms, and that can co-occur with quantificational determiners like every, each, several, etc.
