4.4.2
Categorial meaning
What has been said so far does not encourage the search for categorial meaning, i.e. the intension of
a word class. However, it still befits us to briefly review some evidence for categorial meaning of
parts of speech that has been brought forward in the literature. It is confined to three major parts of
speech, noun, verb and adjective; and it comes from languages that possess a productive class of
adjectives and in which linguists can control finest shades of meaning. Methodologically, this
section takes up where the discussion of paradigmatic relations among parts of speech in §3.1 left
off.
