Five crew, how many clergy : pourquoi certains noms collectifs peuvent-ils servir à nommer des membres ?

Abstract: Un nom collectif est généralement défini comme un nom qui, au singulier, implique une pluralité de membres ; ainsi crew au sens d’équipage. Mais certains de ces noms peuvent également désigner des membres, lorsqu’ils sont employés comme pluriels non fléchis (ex. these crew) ; quelques-uns admettent même le dénombrement « un » (ex. one crew pour un membre d’équipage).
