Số nhiều: classifiers

In linguistics, this term describes a system of categorization that feels intuitive to native speakers but often seems redundant to those speaking languages like English. It suggests a world where objects are grouped by physical properties, such as long cylindrical things or flat objects, rather than just by their semantic meaning.

A classifier is a specific tool or a specific word used for categorization.
