7. Speak on: the classification of words into groups according to Henry Sweet
Henry Sweet similar to his predecessors, divided words into declinable and indeclinable. To declinables he attributed noun-words (noun, noun-pronoun, noun-numeral, infinitive, gerund), adjective-words (adjective, adjective-pronoun, adjectivenumeral, participle), verb (finite verb), verbals (infinitive, gerund, participle) and to indeclinables (particles), adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection. Henry Sweet speaks of three principles of classification: form, meaning, and function. However, the results of his classification reveal a considerable divergence between theory and practice: the division of the parts of speech into declinable and indeclinable is a division based on form. Only within the class can we see the operation of the principle of function. Indeclinable: adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections.
Ch. Fries worked out the principles of syntactico-distributional (s-d) classification of English words.
The s-d classification of words is based on the study of their combinability by means of substitution testing. The testing results in developing the standard model of four main “positions” of notional words in the English sentence: noun (N) verb (V) adjective (A) adverb (D)
The words isolated from the records were tested on the three typical sentences (also taken from the tapes), which are used as substitution test-frames. Frame A. The concert was good (always). [The thing and its quality at a given time] Frame B. The clerk remembered the tax (suddenly). [“Actor-action-thing acted upon” –characteristic of the action] Frame C. The team went there. [“Actor-action-direction of the action”]
As a result of those tests the following lists of words were established:
Class 1. (A) concert, coffee, taste, container, difference, etc. (B) clerk, husband, supervisor, etc.; tax food, coffee, etc. (C) team, husband, woman, etc.
Class 2. (A) was, seemed, became, etc. (B) remembered, wanted, saw, suggested etc. (C) went, came, ran, lived, worked, etc.
Class 3. (A) good, large, necessary, foreign, new empty, etc.
Class 4. (A) there, here, always, then, sometimes, etc. (B) clearly, sufficiently, especially, repeatedly, soon, etc. (C) there, back, out, etc.; rapidly, eagerly, confidently, etc.
All these words can fill in the positions of the frames without affection their general structural meaning. Functional words are exposed in the cited process as being unable to fill in the positions of the frames without destroying their structural meaning. These words form limited groups totaling 154 units. They can be distributed among the three main sets: 1)specifiers of notional words (determiners of nouns, modal verbs, functional modifiers and intensifiers of adjectives and adverbs)2)interpositional elements, determining the relation of notional words to one another (prepositions and conjunctions)3)refer to the sentence as a whole (question words, attention-getting words, words of affirmation and negation, sentence introducers (it, there))
