Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with one of the most interesting problems and the most frequently asked questions related to the classification of the words. The linguistic researches require a steady review of the methodological procedures and criteria applicable to the division of the types of words and definitions of certain parts of speech. The science of language has been familiar with various theories related to all kinds of words, as well as many critics of the theory and partial grammar approaches. The words belong to the linguistic categories which are classified according to the morphological (a division according to the morphological structure) syntactic (the one related to the function it has in the sentence) and semantic criteria in certain classes of property or bind the same meaning. The subject of the paper is to reveal the way our grammarians have classified the types of words and by what criteria. The author has examined the most representative grammar books of the 19th, 20th and 21st century trying to provide an analysis of the development of theoretical thought about the types of words in Montenegrin.
