Abstract

The article considers nouns with the most common Nom.Sing. form. It has been established: 1) these words are united with the semantics of the independent actor, 2) the ratio of form Nom.Sing. indicates the extent of this independence, 3) idiomatic and grammatically related use of forms Nom.Sing. should be excluded before semantic interpretation of the words, 4) most of the words with dominant Nom.Sing. - these are singularoids with the extralinguistic motivation of the predominance of singular forms, 6) the boundary between singularoids and “normal” words can be considered 85% of the uses falling on singular forms.
