noun phrase
A noun phrase is a group of words that function together as a noun within a sentence. This phrase usually includes a noun, along with other modifiers such as determiners (articles like "the", "a", "an"), adjectives, or other nouns, which provide additional information about the noun. It can serve as a subject, an object, or a complement within a sentence. Examples of noun phrases include "the blue car," "an interesting book," and "those three cute dogs playing in the park".

Noun phrase
A noun phrase or nominal phrase is a phrase which has a noun as its head word, or which performs the same grammatical function as such a phrase. Noun phrases are very common cross-linguistically, and they may be the most frequently occurring phrase type. Noun phrases often function as verb subjects and objects, as predicative expressions, and as the complements of prepositions or postpositions. Noun phrases can be embedded inside each other; for instance, the noun phrase some of his constituents contains the shorter noun phrase his constituents. In some modern theories of grammar, noun phrases with determiners are analyzed as having the determiner rather than the noun as their head; they are then referred to as determiner phrases.
