What are Word Classes?
The word classes are also known as PARTS OF SPEECH.
The word classes are parts of speech are categories set up to group words together according to their customary functions and their formal characteristics. We explain them in terms of their
functions and form.
Broad classes of words
The words of English that we have seen categorized in the above classes can lie divided into two broad classes namely.
- The open class
- The closed class
OPEN: An open class is one whose membership is in principle indefinite or unlimited. It is in this class where new words easily find their way into a language.
CLOSED: A closed class is one whose membership is fixed or limited. No new words are expected to come into the language in this class.
The Open class members are:
•nouns
•verbs
•adjectives
•adverbs
•interjections

The Closed class members are:
•prepositions
•pronouns
•conjunctions
No new prepositions pronouns or conjunctions are expected into the English language in the near future.
