Video 2.1. Parts of Speech

Andrew Carnie presents on the 4th Edition of his textbook Syntax: A Generative Introduction.
Video 2.1. "Parts of Speech"
In this video, Carnie argues that the traditional semantic based definitions parts of speech (e.g. a Nouns is a Person Place or Thing), fall apart when you look at them more closely. He argues instead that you need to use distributional definitions based on the syntactic position and morphological properties of the word.
