Particle as part of speech

Particle as part of speech

The particle sometimes can be confused with other auxiliary parts of speech. Though it is not the full member of the offer, it is capable to bring confusion because of what it is possible to put an excess comma, for example. From time to time it is worth repeating the school program and to refresh basic things in memory not to make simple mistakes.

Particle as part of speech

The particle belongs to auxiliary parts of speech and serves for expression of various semantic shades of words and phrases and also for formation of forms of words. They are not sentence parts and do not change. All existing particles can be divided into two categories: semantic and form-building.

Though particles are not sentence parts, at school it is accepted to emphasize a particle not at the same time a word which it treats; as a rule the verb acts as such word.

Semantic particles, as follows from the name, are necessary for expression of semantic shades, subtleties, nuances. Depending on value, they are classified by the following groups: 1) negative: not, at all not, not, by no means;

2) interrogative: unless, really, whether; 3) index: here; 4) specifying: directly, just, precisely, exactly; 5) restrictive / secretory: only, only, only, almost, only, that; 6) exclamatory: that for, as, well (and); 7) intensifying: even, after all, well; 8) softening: - - that, - with; 9) with value of doubt: (whether) hardly, (whether) vryad. Form-building are the particles necessary for formation of an imperative or conditional mood: let, would let, give and. Such particles are always components of a verbal form and consequently are a part of the same sentence part, as a verb. Some researchers allocate additional group of the particles which are not getting under one of above-mentioned categories: like, allegedly, say.

Classifications

Particles also classify by origin on primitive and not primitive. Enter into the first group, generally you bit colloquial and little-used particles, you vit, do not find fault, say, probably look, those, with tea, well - with, in, and also yes,-. All other particles belong to the second group.

Pay attention that many particles on the properties are brought closer to adverbs, the unions, interjections and parenthesises.

There is a separation and on structure: on the simple, compound, dismembered and not dismembered particles. To the first all particles consisting of one word, concern the second – formed of two and more words, the third – all particles which can be divided in the offer in other words (kind of not if only not, let, it is rather, if only, though, nearly, nearly), to the fourth – those that are divided can be in any way. Also there is a few group of so-called frazeologizirovanny particles: what (on) is, exactly, what a difference, not differently (as), is not present that, and (look / wait) for that.
