They can have a similar meaning and one can develop from the other. This book provides a comprehensive and original analysis of noun categorization devices all over the world. It will interest typologists, those working in the fields of morphosyntactic variation and lexicalsemantics, as well as anthropologists and all other scholars interested in the mechanisms of human cognition.
