SYSTEMATIZATION OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH WITH THE ADJECTIVE DECLENSION TYPE IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The history of the formation of the system of parts of speech, in particular those that have an adjectival declension type, is analyzed in the article. Grammarians usually qualify such words as adjectival units and refer to them as adjectives, adverbs, and part of numerals and pronouns, which for a long time belonged to different parts of the language.
 Based on the analysis of national grammar studies, we can conclude that in recent decades there has been a certain difference between the systematizations practiced in school and higher education close to it, and the typologies of parts of speech offered by academic publications. This, in particular, applies to words with an adjectival paradigm.
 In our opinion, it is worth unifying such a classification of words, while adjectives will be identified as proper adjectives (qualitative, relative, possessive), ordinal and pronominal adjectives, and participle.
 The basis for such systematization is primarily the main criteria for distinguishing parts of the language, such as: semantic, because all words answer the question which? (whose?) and indicate a sign by quality, relation to material, time, distance, etc., belonging, order of number or action; morphological, which we can qualify as basic because gender, number, and case are determined in almost all such lexemes; syntactic, because in a sentence such words are mostly agreed definitions or noun parts of compound noun predicates.
 In the future, it is necessary to consider other problematic issues of morphology, such as the differentiation of service parts of speech, verb forms, adverbial constructions, etc.
