| Dec 4, 2014 at 22:02 | comment | added | F.E. | Well, there's categories of stuff, like noun, noun phrase (NP), verb, verb phrase (VP), adjective, etc.; and then there's grammatical function within a structure, for example in the structure of a clause are functions like subject, predicator/verb, object, predicative complement, etc. You'll probably want to get a copy of a good modern textbook on grammar, such as the 2005 textbook by Huddleston and Pullum, A Student's Introduction to English Grammar.

It may be called ELL but there's some serious grammarians over there, and everyone's welcome to ask questions :) | |
