since a noun is a person, place, or thing
and a void is the complete absence of a thing
and it's not an adjective because you can't describe nothing
and it's not a verb because it's not
whaaat

linguistically, it's a noun, don't be silly
nouns aren't "person place or thing", that's just some grade 2 english homework, if you actually look into things deeper, those different types of words like "noun", "adjective", etc. are just words that fill in specific purposes in a sentence

A void is considered to be a place or a thing

you said here: ""noun", "adjective", etc. are just words that fill in specific purposes in a sentence"

what purpose is it filling in?

like are you clueless or what? that doesn't make it not a noun
the definition of noun is not "a person place or thing"
get out of grade 2 already
a noun is a word that fills in a specific purpose in a sentence and "void" can be used as a noun

"Lexical categories (parts of speech) are defined in terms of the ways in which their members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules for nouns differ from language to language. In English, nouns are those words which can occur with articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase.

Linguistically, a noun is a member of a large, open part of speech whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition."

again, stop flaming for no god damn reason.

you've given me adjectives, adjectives in which void is used in a incorrectly.

but yet again, you've given me definitions such as "empty". well what is empty?

try to describe void and empty without using the following words.

"no", "lack of", "opposite", "not"

void has no definition in itself.

it's simply the lack of something. meaning it isnt a thing.


you've also given me nouns. but here's the thing. void isnt "a vacuum", void isnt "a gap", void isnt "an open space"

void is quite literally "nothing"

and nothing is not a thing

"nothing" is a noun
dude a noun is not "a person, place, or thing"
stop arguing with a studied syntactician over what is and isn't a noun
void can be used as a noun, verb, or adjective
a noun is literally a lexical category, not a freaking thing

"articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase."

what adjective can function with "void"? adjectives help describe. nothing can describe void

a "vacuum" cant describe void. because vacuum is a thing, the void quite literally doesnt exist.

a void receipt

a vacuum is a lack of things too

a noun is not a word representing a thing, btw, it's a lexical category of words...
