Syntactic category

“For instance, many nouns in English denote concrete entities, they are pluralized with the suffix -s, and they occur as subjects and objects in clauses. Many verbs denote actions or states, they are conjugated with agreement suffixes (e.g. -s of the third person singular in English), and in English they tend to show up in medial positions of the clauses in which they appear.”

Key Terms in Syntax and Syntactic theories

The lexical categories that a given grammar assumes will likely vary from this list. Certainly numerous subcategories can be acknowledged. For instance, one can view pronouns as a subtype of noun, and verbs can be divided into finite verbs and non-finite verbs (e.g. gerund, infinitive, participle, etc.). The central lexical categories give rise to corresponding phrasal categories:

What this means is that the distinction between lexical and phrasal categories disappears, the result being that only the basic lexical categories are represented.

The terminology here is by no means consistent, since there is debate between linguist’s on their individual approach towards extensions of grammatical complexity. There will be syntactical variations depending on the complexity of the sentence. Some syntactical categories will be unrepresented.

As linguistics has become increasingly popular (since the 1990s) the definitions of the syntactic category rely on the grammatical complexity, and can require the extended definitions with lengthier phrases.
