Explanation:
Linguists recognize that the above list of eight or nine word classes is drastically simplified.[14] For example, "adverb" is to some extent a catch-all class that includes words with many different functions. Some have even argued that the most basic of category distinctions, that of nouns and verbs, is unfounded,[15] or not applicable to certain languages.[16][17] Modern linguists have proposed many different schemes whereby the words of English or other languages are placed into more specific categories and subcategories based on a more precise understanding of their grammatical functions.
Common lexical categories defined by function may include the following (not all of them will necessarily be applicable in a given language):
Categories that will usually be open classes:
adjectives
adverbs
nouns
verbs (except auxiliary verbs)
interjections
Categories that will usually be closed classes:
auxiliary verbs
clitics
coverbs
conjunctions
determiners (articles, quantifiers, demonstrative adjectives, and possessive adjectives)
particles
measure words or classifiers
adpositions (prepositions, postpositions, and circumpositions)
preverbs
pronouns
contractions
cardinal numbers
Within a given category, subgroups of words may be identified based on more precise grammatical properties. For example, verbs may be specified according to the number and type of objects or other complements which they take. This is called subcategorization.
Many modern descriptions of grammar include not only lexical categories or word classes, but also phrasal categories, used to classify phrases, in the sense of groups of words that form units having specific grammatical functions. Phrasal categories may include noun phrases (NP), verb phrases (VP) and so on. Lexical and phrasal categories together are called syntactic categories.
