John Lyons on Classification - Dictionary of Arguments
I 150 Def Grammar Classes/Tradition/Lyons/VsTradition: Grammar classes: noun, verb, adjective, etc. Problem: tradition mixed between points of view: 1. Here you are asked about the conditions which should be decisive for the assignment of a word to a certain grammatical class. Example Does the word "men" belong to X or to Y? This is practically always determined by the distribution of the word. (Tradition ditto). 2. Has to do with the designation of the classes (if their "class content" is already determined on a formal basis): e.g. "Is X rightly designated as a class of nominal? Formal grammar: here every description is equally good, you do not have to call something "adjective"! "Universal": here word classes such as "verb", "noun" etc. are understood in terms of content. (Tradition). >Universal grammar. Formal: (modern grammar): here we assume that the classes were created based on the distribution, and could have been called differently. Cf. >Categorial grammar, >Grammar, >Generative grammar, >Transformational Grammar._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
