Could anybody please provide pointers on the following:
I am working on the class of _general_nouns_ at the moment; superordinates
such as people, issue, problem, thing etc. that can function as "labels"
for pieces of discourse - either anaphorically or cataphorically.
Does anybody know of a thesaurus-like list of these kind of labels or of
otherwise reasonable categorisations?
I'll be grateful for suggestions.
Best wishes
