parts of speech in Old English, though they are recognized as such
in Modern English. As a matter of fact one should recognize that
language vocabulary is not a chaotic mass of words, grammar
organizes these words into grammatical classes of words and
every new lexeme, appearing in the language, should join one of
the existing classes and share the features of other lexemes of the
same class. The theory of parts of speech is problematic and
controversial, since many aspects of it have not been agreed upon.
The most disputable issues are: 1) the principles of word
discrimination; 2) the number of parts of speech in a certain
language; 3) the qualitative division of parts of speech.
