The term form class is also used, although this has various conflicting definitions. Some authors restrict the term lexical category to refer only to a particular type of syntactic category for them the term excludes those parts of speech that are considered to be function words, such as pronouns. Other terms than part of speech-particularly in modern linguistic classifications, which often make more precise distinctions than the traditional scheme does-include word class, lexical class, and lexical category. Commonly listed English parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, interjection, numeral, article, and determiner. Words that are assigned to the same part of speech generally display similar syntactic behavior (they play similar roles within the grammatical structure of sentences), sometimes similar morphological behavior in that they undergo inflection for similar properties and even similar semantic behavior. In grammar, a part of speech or part-of-speech ( abbreviated as POS or PoS, also known as word class or grammatical category ) is a category of words (or, more generally, of lexical items) that have similar grammatical properties.
