Key Points

  • This paper aims to clarify the categorization of verb forms into conjugation classes and its implications.
  • Analysis of traditional methods used by grammarians for organizing verbs.
  • Discussion of terminological inconsistencies in the categorization of verbs.
  • Identified overlap between bases and independent words within conjugation classes.
  • Highlighted the lack of clear terminology affecting understanding of verb classification.

Abstract

The traditional treatment of verbs, both by native and foreign grammarians, arranges the verbs into conjugation classes according to the vocalic endings of verb forms which are called variously ‘base’, ‘stem’, ‘line-forms’, or just ‘form’. The lack of a precise terminology is due to the fact that verb forms which are actually bases, as well as independent words, are grouped into one conjugation class. This subject has been discussed in §1 The Problem, but it is so basic to the understanding of the traditional method of analysis that it will be given here in some detail.
