Clump (tong) and cluster (cu) are set quantifiers that indicate things pile up together and they used in bunch of things. However, Clump (cong) and cluster (cu) have some differences in the choice over nominal structures. These differences are related to the cognition and semantics foundation of clump (cong) and cluster (cu). The most basic cognition and semantics foundation is as follows: clump (cong) is used in the big aggregate, and cluster (cu) is used in the diminutive aggregate. In addition, clump (cong) also has such semantic features as [+bulk, discrete+] , and cluster (cu) has such semantic features as [-+ mission-shaped, pool +].
