Part of speech
In grammar, a part of speech (also a word
class, a lexical class, or a lexical category) is a
linguistic category of words (or more precisely lexical items), which is
generally defined by the syntactic
or morphological
behaviour of the lexical item in question. Common linguistic categories include
noun and verb, among others. There are open word classes,
which constantly acquire new members, and closed word classes,
which acquire new members infrequently if at all.
Almost all languages have the lexical
categories noun
and verb,
but beyond these there are significant variations in different languages.[1] For example, Japanese
has as many as three classes of adjectives
where English has one; Chinese, Korean
and Japanese have nominal
classifiers whereas European languages do not; many languages do
not have a distinction between adjectives and adverbs, adjectives and verbs
(see stative verbs) or adjectives and nouns[citation
needed], etc. This variation in
the number of categories and their identifying properties entails that analysis
be done for each individual language. Nevertheless the labels for each category
are assigned on the basis of universal criteria.

History
The classification of words into lexical
categories is found from the earliest moments in the history of linguistics.
In the Nirukta, written in the 5th or
6th century BC, the Sanskrit grammarian Yāska defined four main
categories of words
- nāma – nouns or substantives
- ākhyāta
– verbs
- upasarga
– pre-verbs or prefixes
- nipāta
– particles, invariant words (perhaps prepositions)
These four were grouped into two large
classes: inflected (nouns and verbs) and uninflected
(pre-verbs and particles).
The ancient work on the grammar of the Tamil language, Tolkappiyam,
dated variously between 1st and 10th centuries AD, classifies words in Tamil as
- peyar
(noun),
- vinai
(verb),
- idai (part
of speech which modifies the relationships between verbs and nouns) and
- uri (word
that further qualifies a noun or verb)
A century or two after the work of Nirukta,
the Greek scholar Plato wrote in the Cratylus dialog that "... sentences are, I conceive, a
combination of verbs [rhēma] and nouns [ónoma]". Another
class, "conjunctions" (covering conjunctions, pronouns,
and the article),
was later added by Aristotle.
By
the end of the 2nd century BC, the classification scheme had been expanded into
eight categories, seen in the Art of Grammar (Τέχνη Γραμματική) :
- Noun: a part of speech inflected for case, signifying
a concrete or abstract entity
- Verb: a part of speech without case inflection, but
inflected for tense, person and number, signifying an activity or process
performed or undergone
- Participle: a part of speech sharing the
features of the verb and the noun
- Interjection: a part of speech expressing
emotion alone
- Pronoun: a part of speech
substitutable for a noun and marked for a person
- Preposition: a part of speech placed
before other words in composition and in syntax
- Adverb: a part of speech without
inflection, in modification of or in addition to a verb, adjective,
clause, sentence, or other adverb
- Conjunction: a part of speech binding together the discourse
and filling gaps in its interpretation
The Latin grammarian Priscian (fl. 500 AD) modified the
above eightfold system, substituting "article" for "interjection".
It was not until 1767 that the adjective was taken as a separate class.[6]
Traditional English grammar is patterned
after the European tradition above, and is still taught in schools and used in dictionaries.
It names eight parts of speech: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction,
and interjection (sometimes called an
exclamation).
Controversies
Since the Greek grammar of 2nd century BC,
parts of speech have been defined by morphological, syntactic
and semantic criteria. However, there is currently no
generally agreed-upon classification scheme that can apply to all languages, or
even a set of criteria upon which such a scheme should be based.
Linguists recognize that the above list of eight word
classes is drastically simplified and artificial. 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, or not applicable to
certain languages.
English
English words have been traditionally classified
into eight lexical categories, or parts of speech (and are still done so in
most dictionaries):
Noun
any abstract or concrete
entity; a person (police officer, Michael), place (coastline,
London), thing (necktie, television), idea (happiness),
or quality (bravery)
Pronoun
any substitute for a noun
or noun phrase
Adjective
any qualifier of a noun
Verb
any action (walk),
occurrence (happen), or state of being (be)
Adverb
any qualifier of an
adjective, verb, clause, sentence, or other adverb
Preposition
any establisher of
relation and syntactic context
Conjunction
any syntactic connector
Interjection
any emotional greeting (or
"exclamation")
Although these are the traditional eight
English parts of speech, modern linguists have been able to classify English
words into even more specific categories and sub-categories based on function.
The four main parts of speech in English,
namely nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, are labelled form classes as well.
This is because prototypical members of each class share the ability to change
their form by accepting derivational or inflectional morphemes. The term form
is used because it refers literally to the similarities in shape of the word in
its pronunciation and spelling for each part of speech.
Part of Speech adalah kategori atau
kelompok kata berdasarkan fungsinya di dalam sebuah kalimat. Part of Speech
merupakan komponen penting yang harus dipelajari bagi siapa saja yang ingin
mahir dalam bahasa Inggris. Part of Speech terdiri dari 8 bagian dan
masing-masing bagian akan dijelaskan secara terperinci secara terpisah. Pada
topik ini kami hanya akan membahasnya secara umum.

Neither written nor spoken English generally
marks words as belonging to one
part of speech or another, as they tend to be understood in the context of the
sentence. Words like neigh, break, outlaw, laser, microwave,
and telephone might all be either verb forms or nouns. Although -ly
is a frequent adverb marker, not all adverbs end in -ly (-wise is
another common adverb marker) and not all words ending in -ly are
adverbs. For instance, tomorrow, fast, very can all be
adverbs, while early, friendly, ugly are all adjectives
(though early can also function as an adverb). Verbs can also be used as
adjectives (e.g. "The astonished child watched the spectacle
unfold" instead of the verb usage "The unfolding spectacle astonished
the child"). In such cases, the verb is in its participle
form.
In certain circumstances, even words with
primarily grammatical functions can be used as verbs or nouns, as in "We
must look to the how's and not just the why's" or
"Miranda was to-ing and fro-ing and not paying attention".
Functional classification
The study of linguistics
has expanded the understanding of lexical categories in various languages and
allowed for better classifying words by function. Common lexical categories in
English by function may include:
- Closed word classes:
- auxiliary verbs
- clitics
- coverbs
- conjunctions
- determiners (articles, quantifiers, demonstrative adjectives, and possessive adjectives)
- particles
- measure words
- adpositions
(prepositions, postpositions, and circumpositions)
- preverbs
- pronouns
- contractions
- cardinal numbers
