Categories As an aid to specifying the constructions, the lexicon is classified into grammatical categories.
This circumstance suggests a theoretical definition of grammatical category, applicable outright to languages generally: the category of an expression is the class of all the expressions that are interchangeable with it salva congruitate.
Theoretically there is no need of any definition of grammatical category, applicable to languages generally.
If, having started with some satisfactorily transcendent notion of grammatically, we were to proceed to define the notion of a grammatical category simply by interchangeability salva congruitate in Husserl's way, then the notion of a grammatical category would likewise be transcendent.
If we call these classes grammatical categories, we are merely labeling the lot conveniently for the purpose of our grammatical enterprise in the particular language; and if we use the same phrase in connection with the grammar of another language, this is only a matter of family resemblance whereof no capital need be made.
