Abstract
The aim of the scientific researchis to present and analyze the findings of three Russian linguists from the first half of the 19th century on a fundamental problem, related to the parts of speech. In the course of the study it was found that during this period in Russian philological science there was a purposeful research effort to update and modernize the „sacred“ hitherto eight-member division model of Aristarchus. The most valuable thing is that the three authors of grammars choose different taxonomic criteria, leading to different classifications according to the number and composition of the parts of speech.

Key words: parts of speech, classification criteria, morphological criterion, Al. Hr. Vostokov, V. Gr. Belinski, G. P. Pavski
