是否所有语言都有名词和动词的问题有时被称为术语问题，而不是实质问题，“名词”和“动词”范畴之间的区别充其量被认为是一个程度问题。然而，对来自汤加（波利尼西亚）的田野调查数据的详细讨论将说明，像汤加语这样的语言表现出一种基本的范畴区分，这种区分本质上不同于古典名词和动词之间的主要区分，并且在逻辑上独立于古典名词和动词之间的主要区分。为了捕捉这些差异，有必要避免混淆词汇和句法层面的分析，这是一个常见的错误，以前的方法的词类类型。然而，尽管存在这些差异，但将证明汤加语和古典名词/动词语言可以在同一原型框架中被视为“s”变体。
The question whether all languages possess nouns and verbs has sometimes been called a matter of terminology rat her than ofsubstance, and t he distinction between "nominal" and "verbal categories has been regarded äs at best a matter of degree. However, a detailed discussion offieldwork data from Tongan (Polynesia) will illustrate that a language such äs Tongan exhibits a fundamental categorial distinction which is essentially different and logically independent from a major distinction between classical nouns and verbs. In order to capture these differences, it is necessary to avoid the confusion between a lexical and a syntactic level of analysis, which is a common mistake of previous approaches to the typology of word classes. Regardless of these differences, however, it will be demonstrated that Tongan and classical noun/verb-languages can be treated äs variants in the same prototype framework.
