A '''noun clause''' is a clause that functions in the same way as a [[noun phrase]], i.e. generally as an [[argument]], so that ''noun clause'' is basically a synonym of [[complement clause]].

:::*''"Noun clauses are clausal noun phrases. They are subordinate clauses that perform within the larger sentence...the same functions as noun phrases, i.e. those of subject, object, etc."'' (Göksel & Kerslake 2005:404)

===Comments===
This term seems to be older than ''complement clause''. It appears to be found primarily in descriptive works.
