On Las categorías gramaticales by Ignacio Bosque: A new perspective on their relations and differences?

Abstract

As basic units of the syntax of any language, grammatical categories have been consist¬ently studied by Spanish grammarians. However, there exists some lexical units whose syntactic behaviour presents serious challenges when assigning them definitively to a particular class. The present work provides an overview of how to face the problem of classification of several lexical units from the second edition of the manual Las categorías gramaticales: relaciones y diferencias by Ignacio Bosque. It collects, from this revised edition, the most striking examples of the pitfalls that may be encountered in the syntactic analysis of the parts of the sentence traditionally called lexical and functional.
