Citazioni

A part of speech outside of the limitations of syntactic form is but a will o' the wisp. [...] no logical scheme of the parts of speech -their number, nature, and necessary confines- is of the slightest interest to the linguist. Each language has its own scheme. Everything depends on the formal demarcations which it recognizes.
