Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with specific nouns that are discussed from the semantic point of view as unspecific and abstract. From the functional perspective they can be seen as components of certain lexicogrammatical patterns used to compose a text. Therefore this specific functional noun group is identified on the junction between lexis and grammar. These nouns have not been detected by Lithuanian linguists, but they have been identified and analyzed in the English langauge.
