Questions for Discussion: 1. The study of grammatical classes of words. 2. Contemporary criteria for classifying words into parts of speech. 3. A comprehensive approach to the discrimination of parts of speech. 4. The notional and functional parts of speech. 5. Parts of speech subcategorisation. 1. The study of grammatical classes of words. The words of language, depending on various formal and semantic features, are divided into gra mmatically relevant sets or classes. The traditional grammatical classes of words are called ―parts of speech‖. Since the word is distinguished not only by grammatical, but also by semantico- lexemic properties, some scholars (V. Smirnitsky) refer to parts of speech as ―lexico- grammatical‖ series of words, or as “lexico-grammatical categories” [12, p. 100]. Prof. M. Blokh introduced the term “grammatical classes‖. He starts from the assumption that what is traditionally called a part of speech is a type of word, which grammatically differs from other types of words. [2, p. 68] It should be noted that the traditional term ―parts of speech‖ was developed in Ancient Greek linguistics and reflects the fact that at that time there was no distinction between langua ge as a system and speech, between the word as a part of an utterance and the word as a part of lexis. The term ―parts of speech‖ is accepted by modern linguistics as a conventional, or ―non- explanatory‖ term (―name-term‖) to denote the lexico- grammatical classes of words correlating with each other in the 43 general system of language on the basis of their grammatically relevant properties. The system of parts of speech is historically changeable, e.g. articles, modal verbs, statives were not recognized as separate Download 0.73 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
