To a non-specialist, "the network address" is ambiguous. There are many addresses in a network, and none of them are the entire network. It's like saying, given a list [2, 4, 8, 12], what's "the list item"?
A "network address" is an IP address and mask, but I understand your confusion - we're mixing terminology from disperate domains. In my postings, I have tried to refer to Network (a containter) and Address (an item).
