Should Parts of Speech be treated as descriptive tools or are they to be considered universal constructs? Should they be defined semantically, syntactically, or otherwise? And do non-Indo-European languages reveal novel aspects of categorical assignment? This book attempts to answer these and other fundamental questions for linguistic theory.
