Abstract

Part-of-speech categories are generally expected to fulfil two functions: In the lexicon they are expected to determine which elements belong to a given part of speech and in the grammar they are expected to determine which positions elements of a given part of speech may occupy in complex linguistic expressions. This paper argues that part-of-speech categories are unable to fulfil both functions and that two completely different kinds of linguistic categorization need to be distinguished.
