Keywords:

There are various primary methods for classifying parts of speech in linguistics in general and English linguistics in particular.
There are descriptive, onomasiological, traditional [the oldest], and utilitarian ones. The aforementioned methods indicate several eras of parts of speech research as a phenomenon of language, as well as various perspectives of representatives of various linguistic schools about their [periods] essence.
It is clear that they are not completely distinct from one another, though, as linguists work with the same material and object—lexicon—which is vast, diverse, and full of many interwoven and related qualities.
