Part of speech
From Conservapedia
A part of speech is a grammatical category of words in a language. In English, the eight parts of speech are the noun, the verb, the adjective, the adverb, the pronoun, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection. Other languages have more or fewer parts of speech. For example, in Mandarin Chinese, the two parts of speech are content words or full words, having concrete meanings; and function words or empty words, indicating grammatical relationships.[1]
