Human animate nouns are more widely usedthan other kinds of general nouns and play the most critical role in discoursecoherence and make a lot of contributions to the cohesion of whole text. There exist34 kinds of human animate nouns that act as general nouns in the built corpus ofGrimm’s Fairy Tales and their percentage accounts for 67.2% of all the seven kinds ofgeneral nouns, which is much more than 50% of all the general nouns used. It isobvious that human animate noun is the most frequently adopted general nouns typein Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Among the human animate nouns used, the most widely usedones are man, child and people. All the percentages of man, child and people are quitehigh in the corpus. To a certain degree, they cover broad meanings in differentcontexts and discourses apart from its literal meaning. When a discourse is created,the social background and other factors must be taken into consideration, so theunderstanding of a discourse relies on its context as well. And the interpretation of anoun cannot be achieved only by its literal meaning but also by the integration with itscontext. Because the target audiences of fairy tales are children, the writer concertizesthese general nouns by giving some instances and explaining the conception of them.
