Talk:Grammeme

I've stubbed this in, as it seems notable, at least in the field of linguistics. It had been a redirect to grammatical particle, which had asserted that grammeme was a neologism used online to refer to grammatical particles. Google books shows the term used in print as early as 1956 (possibly 1948, but probably not), in reference to a wide variety of constructions, ranging from particles and inflection markers to the phrase "will have been bought", so I removed that statement. Since there was nothing else about grammemes in the article, the redirect was clearly not the right thing. However, I haven't really been able to grasp exactly what a grammeme is and isn't, so I've had to leave it as a stub. --Dmh (talk) 04:57, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Part of speech

[edit]

I removed "noun and verb are grammemes of the category part of speech", because I think it's incompatible to what it said in the article on grammatical categories: "Although terminology is not always consistent, a distinction should be made between these grammatical categories (tense, number, etc.) and lexical categories, which are closely synonymous with the traditional parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) [...]" That is, part of speech does not belong among grammatical categories (but lexical categories). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egotripp (talkcontribs) 12:27, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
