WORD CLASSES AND CONVERSION

Stjepan Babić ; Zagreb

Abstract

Word classes present an open linguistic problem because no criteria have yet been found which would enable their unambiguous determination; it is complicated by conversion-the transition of a word from one class to another without change in the morphemic composition of the basic word. The author shows that the boundaries of transition are not sharp because there are examples in which the pertaining of certain words to a class can be interpreted in two ways, so it can be said that they belong to two classes.
