2 meanings of shouting

1
verb
Present participle and gerund of shout.
Shouting over the music, she tried to get his attention.
The coach kept shouting instructions from the sideline.
Note
Every use of the verb carries into this form, including two that surprise newcomers. In Australian and New Zealand slang, shouting someone means paying for their food or drink, so "who's shouting?" asks whose round it is. Online, shouting means typing in capitals, and "stop shouting" can be said of an email. It also takes an object freely: shouting a warning, shouting abuse.
2
nouncountable or uncountable
A loud, highly audible burst of acclamation, clamor, crying out, or uproar.
A sudden shouting erupted as the winning goal went in.
The hall filled with the shouting of delegates demanding a vote.
Similaryelling, clamor, uproar, cheering, outcry
Oppositesilence, whispering
Note
A true noun, and unlike the gerund it can be counted: it takes an article and a plural, as in a sudden shouting or the shoutings of the crowd. That is the quickest test against the verb form. The noun takes adjectives and an of-phrase (the angry shouting of delegates), while the gerund takes a direct object and adverbs (shouting instructions loudly).
