the traditional eight parts of speech to the twelve morphological classifications found in structural linguistics.

Explanation:

1.The traditional eight parts of speech are a component of notional (or semantic) grammars in which words are grammatically described by the semantic function they fill, such as "a word that describes nouns" (adjective). 2.Morphology is the study of the composition of words used in language, which is called parole in structural linguistics.

3.The concept of eight parts of speech has been useful for teaching English to school children but is inadequate for linguistic study because the parts of speech are only poorly defined, as is well illustrated by the awkward difficulty in defining the noun part of speech: an object (a thing), a state of being, an abstract concept, a feeling or an event

4.Morphological word sets are distinguished by groups of morphemes that are related to a single root morpheme with each variation of morphological root in the set having the same meaning but providing a different aspects of that meaning, as illustrated by the morphological set eat, eats, eating, ate, eaten.

5.According to notional grammar, the eight semantic parts of speech are Noun: thing, abstraction, state, etc.
