Popis Though it is commonly assumed that collective nouns are specific to the domain of individuals, e.g., `committee of women', in fact the category is much more general and covers also abstract objects such as eventualities, e.g., `series of murders', and numbers, e.g., `sequence of integers'. In this paper, I provide evidence from two types of Slavic derived collective nouns supporting recent findings that suggest that collective nouns do not constitute a uniform category. Rather, there are spatial collectives referring to topological configurations and social collectives designating organizations social clusters, e.g., `committee of women'.
