MORPHOSYNTACTIC AND SEMATIC FUNCTION OF WORD CLASSES: PURSUING PATHS

The focus on the study of word classes from a morphosyntactic-semantic approach seems to have been somewhat neglected when compared to the attention given to textual genres. We do not say that different textual genres should not be considered, on the contrary, they should be studied, but it is also necessary to remember the importance of word classes in terms of their function as cohesive, modal, hyperonym, argumentative, substitution and reference elements among various other functions in reading and in text production. This paper presents a reflection about the importance of a theoretical view for the production and comprehension of various text genres.
