A Lexical Category is a syntactic category for elements that are part of the lexicon of the language.

These elements are at the word level. Syntactic category is a fundamental fact about word in all human
language. From Lexical Categories may be defined in terms of core notions or “prototypes”, prototypes
means the original model used as an example. This lexical category is divided into two groups of words,
they are :

1. Content Words
Content words are word that contribute substantially to the meaning of the sentence, including :
 nouns (telling the object), e.g. Mirror, Rizky, Gianyar -> Rizky is the most handsome boy here
 verbs (telling the action happening), e.g. Walk, jump, dig, jig, eat, sleep -> he like to dig
 adjectives (gives details about object and people), e.g. Intelligent, big, far -> that stone is so
big
 adverbs (telling how, when, or where something is done), eg. Carefully, sometimes, slowly ->
Sometimes, he asked me to take a walk.

So content word give us an important information to understand a sentence.

2. Function Words
Function words are words that help to establish the structure of the sentences but have less
inherent meaning of their own. The word classes of function words including :
 Article, which is split into two :
- Indefinite articles (a, and an) -> I saw a wallet in the toilet
- Definite article (the) -> I have already click the button
 Demonstratives are most often used to identify the location of something in space, by
pointing to it. Example :
- This, these (for something nearby)
- That, those (for something further away)

Example of the sentence : I got this pencil case but actually I want that one

 Pronouns usually replace a noun, but not just a noun, but the noun and all its modifiers (she,
he, I, you), Example :
- She is very intelligent
- The beautiful woman in there is my mother
 Quantifier, has a determiner meaning (many, some), example :
- Some people want that jewelry , but I don’t want it at all
 Modal (Verbs) is an auxiliary verb (can, will, should), example :
- I will be a superstar
 Primary (Verbs) are often followed by another verb, but they can also sometimes occur on
their own, without another following verb (be, have, do), example :
- Luffy has a good job
 Infinitive to must be distinguished from preposition to, example :
- They begin to talk each other
 Conjunction, consists of :
- Coordinating conjunctions are used to join together two constituents that are
grammatically similar (and, or, but), e.g. Susi and Santi have been friends since
elementary school
- Subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce embedded statements (that, if, when,
which), e.g. if you’re not careful, you’ll be doomed
 Preposition is a word that combined with a noun or peonoun (in, on, at), e.g. There’s an opera
at 5.00 p.m. don’t miss it
