Both the general problem of quantification and many particular details of quantifiable characteristics have repeatedly been the object of linguistic study. A vast literature is devoted to various aspects of quantification of "things". Many researchers address this problem, trying to explain the features of the numerical paradigm of nouns. Names denoting objects quantification of which is difficult for some reason, have a defective numerical paradigm (used in the forms of only singular or plural only). Interestingly, quantification in this case refers exclusively to the account.
