   集合名詞(英语:Collective noun或者nouns of assemblage)是语言学上的一个专有名词,意指一种可用来指称一群对象的字,而这些对象,可以是人、动物、或是一群概念等事物。举例来说,在英语中,“一群狮子”可称为"a pride of lions",此时的"pride"就是一个集合名词。


  一群小狗:a litter of puppies
  一群牛:a herd 1 of cattle / a yoke 2 of oxen(oxen是ox的复数形式)
  一群苍蝇:a swarm 3 of flies
  一群兔子:a nest of rabbits
  一群狼:a pack of wolves
  一群鲸鱼:a school of whales
  一群羊:a flock of sheep
  一束葡萄:a bunch of grapes
  一束花:a bunch of flowers一条珍珠项链:a string of pearls
  一堆星星:a cluster of stars
  一行阶梯:a flight of steps
  一堆箭:a sheaf of arrows
  一副扑克:a pack of cards / a batch 4 of cards
  一堆汽车:a fleet of cars
  一列车队或船队:a fleet of cars / a fleet of ships一套高尔夫球棒:a set of golf clubs(不同打法要用不同的球棒)
  一群劳工:a gang of labourers
  一群演员:a company of actors / a troupe 5 of actors一群水手:a crew of sailors
  一群佣人:a staff of servants
  一群士兵:a squadron of soldiers / a troop of soldiers / a squad 6 of soldiers / a detail of soldiers / a party of soldiers (都指一群士兵,要根据兵种及兵团大小来选择不同的量词)
  需要注意的一点是,并不是所有的事物都有相应的collective noun或者nouns of assemblage。例如十支笔,英语里就没有“枝”的说法,只说ten pens。又例如十本书,英语里没有“本”,只是ten books,而两所学校也只是two schools。
