The Views of Different Schools
Pronouns have been classified as one of the parts of speech since at least the 2nd century BC when they were included in the Greek treatise Art of Grammar. Objections to this approach have appeared among grammatical theories in the 20th century. Their grammatical heterogeneity, many-sided pronouns were underlined, which were classified as follows:
- "indicative words" (Karl Brugmann, Karl Bühler, Uriel Weinreich);
- "indexes" or "indicators" (Charles Sanders Peirce, William Edward Collinson);
- "words with changeable signification" (Adolf Noreen);
- "moveable identifiers" (Otto Jespersen, Roman Jakobson);
- "updating" or "means of transferring from language to speech" (Charles Bally, Émile Benveniste);
- "words of subjective-objective lexical meaning" (Alexey Peshkovsky);
- "word remnants" or "substitutes" (Lev Shcherba, Leonard Bloomfield, Zellig Harris);
- "determiners whose NP complements have been deleted" (Paul Postal);
- "represents" (Ferdinand Brunot);
- "survivals of a special part of speech" (Viktor Vinogradov),

Famous quotes containing the words views and/or schools:
“Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.”
—John Dewey (18591952)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, Its better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when theyre 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldnt have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
