This paper develops a data set of nearly 500 such nouns, adducing their strongly non-countable status from usage over a 350 million word corpus (Davies 2009). Through further internet searches, we attest rare, but possible, patterns of coercion available to these nouns. We then develop a classification of the different notional categories that these nouns belong to. Finally, we examine broad distributional patterns and argue that these strongly non-countable nouns contrast with countable nouns as to their ...
