Languages typically further subdivide nouns into noun classes to some degree. This phenomenon is only peripheral in English, seen in the distinction between pronouns in the third person singular; is this correct? I doubt whether pronouns are considered to be just a subcategory of nouns. See for example [1] Stefan Olejniczak 08:26, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
