 | | part of speech, in traditional English grammar, any one of about eight major classes of words, based on the parts of speech of ancient Greek and Latin. |
 | | The parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, interjection, preposition, conjunction, and pronoun. |
 | | Some English parts of speech (nouns, verbs, etc.) are productive classes allowing new members; others, with functional rather than lexical meaning (prepositions, articles, conjunctions) are nonproductive, having a limited number of members. |
