Linguistic Typology as a subject

9. PARTS OF SPEECH IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

• The word is known as the smallest naming unit of the language. According to Leonard Bloomfield8, the word is a minimum free form.
• The words of every language fall into classes which are called parts of speech. The problem of parts of speech is one of the most controversial problems of modern linguistics. The theoretical side of this problem is the subject matter of the theoreti­cal grammar therefore we should base our comparison of system of parts of speech on the generally acknowledged opinions of grammarians.In order to make it easier to learn the language the grammarians usually divide the word-stock of the language into some subclasses called in linguistics "the parts of speech" or in other terminology "the lexico-grammatical classes of words ".
