In any language, words are divided into parts of speech. Each word is attributed to one of them, based on its general meaning, syntactic role, morphological constant and non-constant characters. Parts of speech are subdivided into significant or independent, official and interjections.
Depending on the characteristics, the main parts of speech are distinguished . There are only ten of them: a noun, an adverb, a numeral, an adjective, a pronoun, a verb, a preposition, a union, as well as an interjection and a particle (the participles and participles in some classifications are considered as forms of the verb).
Russian pronouns include words that have no meaning of their own. They replace other varieties of words - adjective, noun, adverb and numeral. Never a pronoun can name those to whom it refers. Therefore, a pronoun is an independent part of speech that indicates any objects without naming them. The questions that the pronouns answer are different: who? what? whose? how much? which one?
There are certain types of pronouns. The classification of these parts of speech depends on their meaning, the nature of the connection with other words. In total, nine types of pronouns are distinguished: personal, the word "self" - reflexive, possessive, interrogative, relative, definitive, indefinite, negative and indicative.
The pronouns that are called personal can replace nouns: I, we, you, you, he, she, it, they. Demonstrative pronouns in Russian highlight a specific attribute or subject: one, such, this, etc. Possessive pronouns indicate belonging: her, him, mine, yours, etc. Negative deny anything: nothing, nobody, nobody, no, etc. .
Uncertain indicate a subject or sign: several, some, someone, something, etc. The definitives specify what kind of subject this is: another, himself, any, always, etc. Interrogative questions are put in sentences that ask: who? whose? what? which the?
Relative pronouns are used in complex sentences, where they serve to connect its parts among themselves: who, who, what, what. The reflexive pronoun refers to the one in question: himself.
All these types of pronouns are constantly used in modern Russian. What is the main difference between pronouns and other parts of speech known to us? The adjective, noun, adverb and numeral name the subject, attribute and quantity, and pronouns in Russian only indicate this, but do not name anything. Undoubtedly, pronouns can replace parts of speech, therefore they can be pronouns-numerals (as much as), pronouns-nouns (me, they, someone, nothing, etc.), pronouns-adverbs (where, there) and pronouns-adjectives ( mine, which, the most, etc.). These types of pronouns must be considered in relation to certain parts of speech.
For example, demonstrative pronouns in Russian, definitive, possessive, interrogative-relative and indefinite are included in the category of pronouns-adjectives: they indicate a sign.
All considered types of pronouns are common and necessary for communication. This is a necessary part of speech, since without it no language can exist, be it Russian, English, Spanish or any other. The science of the history of the development of languages says that it is impossible not to use pronouns in our speech, we constantly use them - that’s why they, as part of speech, are necessary. They are in third place after the noun and verb. From this we can conclude that the pronouns diversify our everyday not only colloquial, but also literary speech.
