À. Ashton divides the lexicon into three parts: notional words, relational words and interstitial words.
Notional words are to give the right perception of some thing, process or property. Under notional he understands the nouns, qualitative adjectives and verbs.
Relational words neither describe nor name the things, they are just to define their relations and connections towards other things (substantivized pronouns, qualitative and pronominal adjectives).
The adverbs are divided into a separate class known as interstitial words because of their being partly notional(wisely, brightly) and partly relational (now, thus)

VI. O. Espersen.’s classification
They divide the lexicon into three parts according to their functioning in such syntactical structures as a word-combination and a sentence. This division of the lexicon is based on his three ranks theory «òðåõ ðàíãîâ». So he distinguishes :
1. theprimary words, which may be seen as the core of a word-combination or the subject of a sentence;
2. the secondary words(graduates), which are dependant on the primary word, characterizing as its atrribute;
3. the tertiary words (sub-graduates), which are dependant on the graduates. In most cases sub-graduates are to define graduate.
