THE FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC APPROACH TO LANGUAGE
PHENOMENA
o A Functional-Semantic category / field is an arrangement of various –
morphological, syntactic, lexical, derivational – means of a language which ex-
press the same universal notion / abstract meaning or perform the same function.
o The field structure of a linguistic field: the centre and the periphery
ĺ central elements have all of the defining characteristics of the class
ĺ peripheral elements share some but not all of the defining characteristics of
the class.
THE PROBLEM OF PARTS OF SPEECH CLASSIFICATION
o Principles for classifying words into lexical-grammatical classes (‘parts of
speech’):
– the general semantic principle;
– the formal morphological principle;
– the functional syntactic principle.
o Different classifications of words into ‘parts of speech’: the underlying prin-
ciple/-s; their strengths and weaknesses.
o The major groups of vocabulary (acc. to prof. Smirnitsky):
– parts of speech proper,
– function / form words,
– words outside the sentence structure.
o Their defining characteristics
