People as lexical categories




Noun: any abstract or concrete entity
Or thing. Easy to identify. Point at them and that's what they are. A what you see is what you get category of people.

Pronoun: any substitute for a noun or noun phrase
Not that many, but very meaningfull. Used often. Carries a lot on their shoulders. Things would be hard to understand and/or meaningless without them.

Adjective: any qualifier of a noun
Identifying. Points out things. Makes the world more nuanced.

Verb: any action or state of being
Those who do, but don't know how. Occationally those of less intelligence.

The basics. I'm certain you know at least one person in each category.
