Categorization in language is intended to capture generalizations among expressions, and traditional wisdom has posited a set of the lexical categories or parts of speech for English. However, issues have been arising if the simple list of lexical categories such as N, V, Adj, and P is enough to capture shared grammatical properties among the observed expressions in English. In this squib, I suggest that in addition to the decomposition of lexical categories by features, we also need to posit intermediate lexical categories, such as nominal, verbal, and adverbial.
1. Introduction
2. The intermediate category nominal
3. The intermediate category verbal
4. The intermediate category adverbial
5. Conclusion
