3.2. Typology of parts of speech in English and Native Languages

Key points for discussion: What is morphological typology? What kind of relations does morphological typology have with other levels of comparative typology? What is morpheme? What are the branches of lexical typology? What can be understood by typological categorization within lexical fields and conceptual domains?

A part of speech is a category of words (or, more generally, of lexical items) which have similar grammatical properties. Words that are assigned to the same part of speech generally display similar behavior in terms of syntax—they play similar roles within the grammatical structure of sentences—and sometimes in terms of morphology, in that they undergo inflection for similar properties. In grammar, a part of speech (also called lexical categories, grammatical categories or word classes) is a linguistic category of words.

According to their meaning, morphological characteristics and syntactical functions, words fall under certain classes called parts of speech. We distinguish between notional and structural parts of speech in English.
The notional parts of speech perform certain functions in the sentence. The notional parts of speech are:
1. the noun
2. the adjective
3. the pronoun
4. the numeral
5. the verb
6. the adverb
7. the words of the category of state
8. the modal words
9. the interjection

The structural parts of speech either express relations between words or sentences or emphasize the meaning of words or sentences. They never perform any independent function in the sentence. Here belong:

1. the preposition
2. the conjunction
3. the particle
4. the article

Parts of speech in Russian and Uzbek are subdivided according to the grammatical meaning, group of morphological features and syntactic role in the sentence.
Grammatical meaning is the most generalized meaning inherent in the whole class of words. More subtle differences in meaning reflect ranks in importance, which are allocated to one or another part of speech. For example, let’s take a noun as example.
Grammatical meaning of the noun - "subject". It is expressed in other words, to answer the questions: Who?, What?
Examples: Who?, What? - Leg, lamp, son, Moscow, gold, silver, nobility, young people, good, greed.
These words, of course, convey different meanings: concrete and abstract, real, collective, private. For morphology it is important that these differences are expressed in the value at the morphological level. For example, most nouns with a particular value is usually singular and plural: foot - feet, and all the rest - only one form, either singular or plural: Moscow (private) - singular, gold (real), the nobility (collective) - plural, good (abstract) – singular. But all these words are one class. They answer some questions, which distinguishes them from other classes of words, such as verbs, which answers the question: What to do? and express grammatical meaning of "action": to walk, jump, laugh, fight, learn.
Morphological features - these are the characteristics of the grammatical nature of words. For morphology it is important to be known:

• 
  do the words change or not,
  
• 
  which forms sets have words,
  
• 
  what inflections these forms are expressed
  
• 
  what do these forms express.
  

Some morphological characteristics are common in several parts of speech, such as deaths, others peculiar to only one class of words, such as time. The same feature can be immutable, constant for any class of words and change in others, such as race. Each part of speech a set of morphological traits. Not knowing them, it is impossible to produce a morphological analysis of the words and understand what unites words in one part of speech, and distinguishes them from other parts of speech of words.
The syntactic role in the sentence - it is the role of a certain class of words play in a sentence. Important:

• 
  whether the word member suggestions
  
• 
  what is its role in the grammatical device offers.
  

According to these main three characteristics parts of speech in Russian are subdivided into primary, secondary parts of speech and interjections.

Primary parts of speech are:

1. 
   Noun
   
2. 
   Adjective
   
3. 
   Numeral
   
4. 
   Pronoun
   
5. 
   Verb
   
6. 
   Adverb.
   

Secondary (bound) parts of speech are:

1. 
   Preposition
   
2. 
   Conjunction
   
3.
